Είστε που πίνεστε;

According to babblefish, that's Greek for "Are you drunk?"

Yesterday, I heard on the radio that the Supreme Court of New Jersey has just decided that every police officer in New Jersey must speak to a suspect in the language they understand.



There are - if I can believe the radio dudes, who are paid to exaggerate - 150 languages spoken in New Jersey.

Oh, wait. It's in USAToday, so it must be true: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-07-12-dui-language_N.htm

This is beyond ridiculous. Then again, this is Jersey.
