will rosetta stone put out a program to help people learn tongues? will university of chicago put out an english/tongues dictionary?

any evangelicals out there who can help the rest of us DUers? please translate the following phrases for us so we can be prepared should the repubs steal another election this year:

Hello

What is your name?

My name is _______

Where is the bathroom?

What time is it?

I'd like to order a glass of beer

Waiter, the check please.

1. Evangelicals don't speak in tongues.
Charismatics do.

But to quote Garrison Keilor:

Hemalator
Jackalator
Ha Ha Ha
Hamalama
Shamalama
Sis boom bah!

2. I dunno. But if so, one thing is for sure:
the U.S. military still won't have enough translators.

3. Of course not.
Russian will.

After all, Moose-olini can practically hear people speaking it from her house. Which may be why she seems to spend most of her time there, instead of, you know, the state capital.

6. hablablobbiddy bloobiddy doobiddy blabiddybloop
that means "buy halliburton stock" in tongues

NOTE: wow....the first time i tried to post this it was all squished together as one word and i got an error message that stated:

"ERROR: Posting error

Long subjects require periodic spaces"

i guess DU is not compliant with tongues yet.
