Today's my little sister's birthday. She was ten or eleven when I left home (regular readers already know I actually have no idea how old my family members are, and it's a minor miracle that I even remembered the correct date), but now she's all grown up with a real job, a husband, and three young'uns. I guess that means I'm a little older, too. She's an English teacher, so it seems appropriate that I link to [screenshots from an alledged bootleg DVD](http://home.online.no/~gremmem/engrish_ttt_captions/index.htm) of _The Two Towers_ that is making the rounds in Europe. Someone added subtitles that are almost, but not quite, entirely unlike English. Happy Birthday, Lauryl!
