cellular intelligence

been having a lot of discussions these days about languages. finally took some positive action on that front today. there's this friend (won't mention him. he's been getting a lot of bad press from me lately) of mine whose mobile keeps changing its profile name to the magical word "mappan". rumours abound that this happens under the influence of mysterious paranormal forces but i am inclined to believe that it is because the mobile somehow responds to the mappan-waves emitting from its owner.

half the explanation is in the meaning of mappan. loosely translated it means someone who is stupid beyond the realms of comprehension and is proud of it because he knows not about things other than stupidity and is thus unable to compare it with anything else. this, as i said, is when its loosely translated.

but all this is neither here nor there. so i'll come back to the language bit. well, i felt that though the mobile is trying its best to express itself, there was a little something missing. so i helped it along and changed the language to philippino and its pretty interesting what philippines call a lot of things. but more interesting was watching my bad-press-guy fiddling around with the cell, all the while trying to trace my genealogical origin. all in all the paranormal force and i had a good time though some of my forefathers would be spinning out of control in their graves.
