There's a post going around about how to turn Google translate into a beatbox. The one that's going around has a formula to add. After playing around with it a bit, I figured out how it worked and made my own.

- First off, go to Google translate.
- Set it to translate from German to German.
   (Once you figure out how this works, you could use any combination but German has that natural machine sound.)
- Add the code below.
- Click the listen button.

do not visit this page if you ever want to get anything done again: http://www.buzzfeed.com/badge/time-waster

from that page i got sucked in to sugar, sugar yesterday, took me about 2 hours to get through it.  pretty neat concept, recommended for those who like to solve logic puzzles.

also been playing entanglement (http://entanglement.gopherwoodstudios.com/, works best in chrome) recently.  breaking the 1000 point barrier is near impossible, high score so far is 794.

^ Or it could have been deleted by one of the other Mods; in error, of course.

This place has been infested with spammers lately so who knows what all they might be up to though I lean towards thinking it was an accidental deletion.
