# I can say
My name is 01000100011000010111001001110010011110010110110000000000 in binary.

Can't think of any practical use though, except for very long winded (and dull) conversations in the pub.

# Fair enough.
But I still don't get the barbie link. Maybe one of us should write a review of the book?

But hurry - Only one copy left!

You beat me on cat - I can only name it in 2.

# bananaman
you'll like this story. yesterday on the way to brighton pier, boving pointed out a shop that had "the best tshirt in the world" - it was a terry thomas t-shirt! of course i then pointed it out to fnord and so we went inside to investigate. they only had one left - but it was his size! so he bought it, then we located the others using zen navigation, a vague sense for where the sea was and, finally, mobile phones.

# Well, if everybody's showing off
their language skills:
In german, it's Katze for cat, Kätzchen for kitten and Miezekatze for kittycat. You can say Muschi for Pussy, and it has both meanings.
