Nice Diversion
Okay, let's say you've been working hard all day (right) and you just need a quick diversion before you move on to your next task. Here's something you probably haven't ever done:
First, go to the Oddcast Text to Speech Demo site. Next, copy and paste the following Chinese text into the box labelled "Enter Text":
但有個小小的建議...以上兩個地方, 沒膽的人, 晚上最好不要自己一個人去, 因為人煙稀少阿
Now select "Chinese" for the language, then click the button, Say It.
Cool, huh?
My disclaimer: I have no idea what the above Chinese text says. I took it from a very nice looking blog. I tried to translate it with babelfish, but I'm pretty sure the translation below isn't completely accurate:
But has a small suggestion.. Above two places, do not have the gallbladder the person, evening should better not want an own person to go, because person smoke scarce Arab League
Hopefully I haven't offended my Chinese readers as they now represent the fifth largest percentage of my readership. 謝謝!
Anyone speak Chinese?

Lucky for you I'm in a training in Canada with an individual originally from China. He said that it reads something like this. "one suggestion, if you are going to go to that place, don't go their alone go with someone else because it is a dangerous place." Wow the power of the internet.
