but is this "Windtalking"?
No, wind talking often refers to a Navajo code-talking variation. It really wasn't Navajo in the purest sense, and it was, it was a code in which the navajo language was used as a medium for the code. A very nice attempt at a code within a code because you would A) have to know Navajo to know what was said then B) decipher the code after you knew what was said. Pretty darn smart. Navajo is an interesting language and I definitely don't speak it, but it doesn't look like those letters. In fact there aren't enough H's. ;) Cthulhu[^] refers to a horror series by the author H.P. Lovecraft who really couldn't make up his mind on pronunciation. Since in his horror series these "elder gods" spoke a language that was incapable of truly being expressed using out limited vocal cords, the pronunciation was often changing and often close to a random stream of letters, sometimes more vowels, sometimes less. Basically, if your vocal cords stumble over attempting to pronounce it, Lovecraft would probably nab the letters and put them in his book as either a name or a chant to summon some... thing. :-D

Thank you for explaining that. I only got the windtalking thing from that episode of the X Files when old Albert turns up and threatens CSM. (Paperclip I think the episode was called). That seemed to have a lot of odd vowels like that. Ah, Thought! Did the Navajo steal all the Vowels from the Welsh?:-D

I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

It does and it doesn't, one of the reasons it is difficult to speak is it is mostly diphthong accented rather than using constonants to break it up (which is similar to Celtic and others in basis):

Lock him in a room with the VB6 team? Either he exterminates them or starves to death. Either way we win. :laugh:

we don't have any VB6 team left, they were virgins, and were first offered.... darn.... will the Java team do?

if you don't have anyone else left I guess. What about the PERL Monks, or the incompetents responsible for the bad quality reputation that outsourcing has gotten though?

The PERL Monks are all sick today (I smell a setup, who passed this acronym to you?), we have no outsourcing due to the business model.... We're screwed aren't we?

I thought you were c++ not java :P PS I'm sure there's alot of deadwood in management and HR you can feed Cthulu with next. PPS I thought you were sacrificing virgins to it. You're married. You should be safe unless something really weird is going on in your relationship. :laugh:

I am, but we have two Java fans. There are only three things wrong with our company in their minds: 1) We use MS software at all 2) We don't strictly run Linux 3) We program in something other than Java, the universal language that will defeat all languages and lay waste to the previous history of archane programming methods including the evil copy-cat C# which will forever damn anyone who even speaks its foul name.

There is that.... Thanks. I showed him the one of the departments there, he jumped into the Rio Grande frightened and disappeared. Not sure if he is going south to Texas or north to Colorado. He's likely to starve going south....

Nope, nothing wierd. He eats the one, he splats the rest of us.... take your pick... Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! Oh well, not our problem now. Of course if he still heads north leckey might be hunting virgins next....

in which case you could've fed them to cthulu and saved yourself, and apparently the rest of the company as well.

Then why'd you even ask about sacrificing them a few posts up thread?

According to "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", you get rid of cthulu by tyeing his shoelaces together and hanging up the phone. Who says you can't learn anything from cartoons.
