Two awesome things, one thing they should invent

1. Smurfs! There an international Smurfs translation index, plus Wikipedia has a list of how to say Smurf in any language you might ever need to say it in.

2. You know the expression "It's all Greek to me"? Have you ever wondered how they express the equivalent concept in Greek? Language Log has graphed how this plays out in different languages.

3. Things They Should Invent: a glossary of all the international translations of cromulent and embiggen.
