Well - it all started with this little image, when I started up the other day: So - being an obedient little ****, and always having faith in Mr Bill and his cronies, and their system, I followed the instructions given....! (if the images are too small-click on them and they'll open up much larger) Imagine - this is what I got! Doesn't always pay to have faith - it seems..! Well, I thought - this is a rum doo........! Being persistant, I insisted, and finally got this. Halfway there I thought, and got onto the CNetForums, Image via Wikipedia one of my traditional sources of help, and a delightfully named gentleman " cursor cowboy" replied very quickly, with a whole REAM of suggestions!

It's a robot, so it's not perfect, but it gives a good gist, and occasionally a good "belly laugh" If you receive, as I do, daily messages in various languages it may be of use for you - particularly to forward an understandable version to others who don't speak the languages concerned.
