I wish I could read it, because although I don't know what this site is:

Maybe the guy posted the link not to urge us to read the site, but to check its (beyond-) striking similarities with fark.com?

skallas, surfing thru babelfish throws open some possibilties. makes me think how amazing technology is. just imagine. 10 years from now people might be carrying 'universal translators' which could take spoken russian and translate it into english.
all in all i think that was a good post. i think it just opened my horizons a bit.

skallas - Yes, I was born in Moscow and although my English is better than my Russian I have no difficulty in reading etc. The site isn't a content copy of fark.com just a Russian news weblog with the layout of the original fark. I'm surprised a Russian Slashdot hasn't yet been spawned.

Oh boy, I couldn't help it. Babelfish translate's Quonsar's post into English from Russian.

I actually ran this through babelfish, some weird stuff, like this advice on reading the articles - They did not fall? Wipe hands against the pants. Repeat. and some wonderful insights into Russian humor - Why the hen does not have breasts? Because the rooster does not have hands...

I'm pretty sure fark.com itself has mentioned fark.ru in a positive light, so it's all good.
And I thought hens did have breasts. Yummy ones.
That was not a sexist comment.

Yeah Stavros.. And if you eat your chicks in the right joints when you've finished with the breast you got a greasy box to putcha bone into.

quonsar: Though I don't go out of my way to flame people, I definitely consider myself to be one of the"elitists" around here who enjoy bitching and moaning here and in metatalk, but your definition of metafilteroids made me laugh out loud. Great metaphor, although all in all I disagree with your complaint.

Hey, skallas, I'm not the one who started the thread ok?
I'm not even saying that the guy did a nice job over there describing the link, so relax.

Yw. The eagles fly tonight HC >__< Nah, i don't know of any more (i'm sure they must be breeding as we speak though.. might even bag a doubledigit ID in a future Russian MeFi if we're quick.. could get a few dozen potatoes for it one day)
Only prob is - The extent of my Russian vocabulary amounts to not a lot more than the word 'Smirnov'; I heard about their Slashdot in the same sorta way i found out here about their Fark. Good luck tho.
