I did something different today
I got board while driving around toady, I changed the language on my satellite navigator to Italian
. Having an Italian female voice tell me to take the first exit at the roundabout sounds a lot more pleasant than the usual English voice.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.

I've been using a French female voice for ages. It somehow takes the monotony out of the directions but gives you enough info to help you navigate. Oddly enough, she was in a rather confused conversation with one of Telstra's voice message robots the other day while I was trying to wade my way through their horrible phone system to activate a new SIM. It went something like this:
Telstra robot: "Just say 'yes' to select one of the following prompts". Do you want to pay your mobile phone bill ...."
Navman: "tourner à gauche"
Telstra robot: "Did you say 'yes' or 'no' ?
and so on. It was quite amusing.

I want one now. I haven't got a need, but it sounds fun. Does it have Russian, for when you are late for work?
