Subject:	Google giggle on LaGrande
Text:	`From the Google main page, go to "Language Tools" and then ask it to translate "LaGrande Technology" from German into English. Apparently, it's parsing it as the composite of "lag Rande."A more charitable translation might be "edge-sitting technology." Or perhaps "cutting-edge technology."` `This makes some c't articles more amusing to read in translation.`
