Today I noticed from the log that someone read a Google-translated Italian version of my post on the latest TechCrunch BBQ.

I think the first sentence is hilarious – not sure Michael would like it though .. think about it … 200 people at an Atherton home, with narcotics 🙂
Anyway, the links above point to the original and the Italian translation, and here’s the version Googlated back to English:

I have made my job and I have made a list of the aziende/gente that definitively I would wish to come to contact of – yeah, to right… test in order to make it in one crowd of two hundred, in the dusk. In this regulation the social interaction is more accidental, less that you know the greater part of the participants, you communicates with whom hits in, forgets to try anyone in the crowd.
