I'm most likely already late at discovering this, but it's good to know that one of the best companies in the world has a good sense of humor.

Today, I suddenly found the language in Google in Filipino (language of the Philippines). While I am a Filipino, I prefer reading in English language since admittedly, spellings in our language is long, hence more tedious to read. So I went to the preferences and looked for English. On the dropdown menu, I pressed "E" for "English" and, much to my delight, I discovered "Elmer Fudd" as an option.

I chose it and now I can find "My Wabits" in my Google and it's got cool "Pwefewences".

Hoo-way! ='D

Digg-ers discussed about the proximity of iPod Shuffle's design to the tampons. Curious?

Yes, I'm cancelling my "Cool Digg Comments".
There are just way too many for me to handle. Between the reading and the laughter, I barely have time to scratch my butt. It's just taking me way too much time and there are a lot more important things to do than posting what's already been posted. Besides, what's "cool" for me might not be "cool" for you. Besides #2... I can always take comfort in the fact that I have no readers anyway... *sob*... *sniff*.

For more cool Digg comments, you can easily check out Digg anyway.

I admit, it's way cooler that way.

dailymail.co.uk — A Labour minister has sparked controversy by claiming that an alternative symbol is needed for the Red Cross because of the logo's supposed links to the Crusades. It was never intended to have any religious meaning and is thought to have been intended as a tribute to traditionally neutral Switzerland...

Movies That Would Make Horrible Video Games
By George 'El Guapo' Roush on June 10, 2009

The movie/video game crossover has been happening for years. While it's debatable as to which movie based off of a video game was worse (has to be Mario Bros.) what isn't discussed is what movie would make a really bad video game.

TheManWithNoName

Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game.

Oh wait they already made that one.

ShoWest: Sherlock Holmes is a Comedy? Is It That Bad?

The first thing you need to know is that this isn't the Sherlock Holmes you know… It a funky way, it's kind of like if Snatch were about a British detective from the 1800s, which is exactly what it is, thanks to Guy Ritchie writing and directing.

Whose signature top hat is Downey wearing? Mr. Peanut's? Holmes wore a deerstalker.

~ShadouNote: Most of the commenters liked the fun feel of the Sherlock Holmes movie. I... have reservations about that. That's why I think the comment was cool.
Darn.

Rumor: Stephen Sommers Fired Mid-Way Through G.I. Joe?

This sounds like the kind of story we'd usually hear coming from Fox, but this time it's Paramount. A user on the Don Murphy Message Boards (via Latino Review) has posted an unverified story detailing a behind-the-scenes fiasco regarding the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie.

Marlon Wayans is always the red flag for a movie. I figure Hell is kind of like a nonstop Marlon Wayan's reel.

I'm quick to remind everyone that he was excellent in Requiem For A Dream…. but then I remember White Chicks.

Just discovered this item Dugg from a FirstShowing.net item:

Shutter Island, based on an Alfred Hitchcock novel (which I actually only heard about from the film), is already in post-production as listed in IMDB.com.

Hole-y Cow! Literally!
