In Response To: Maybe This is Why They Call It "Babelfish"?? ()

in the book, in order to understand people who speak other languages, the characters in this series simply put a "Babelfish" in their ear.

the book was published in 1979, so the internet translation program name is obviuously a spoof/hommage of the book. not that you wanted, or better needed to know, but.....
