I know it may have sounded like a good idea to run a "cock gag" theme (wranking-cock, downloader-small-coc and now this), but surely there's only so much cock you can expect us to take in one day?

Oops, sorry....

Must be a VERY slow news day. Going to chance the name of the "rag " to The Register Tabloid"??

If you're Google.

Cock comes up as Петух - knew googles translations would actually work for something one day!

or "Dick" if you're google.

Cock is listed as Петух

Knew I'd find something on the translation service one day that worked!

Heh...heh-heh...he said "suck"...heh-heh...heh-heh-heh

Just a little more info on this exciting topic. Unlike "cock", "хуй" has only one meaning. It is meant to be a vulgar word in all contexts. Also, it means the same thing in other slavic languages as well - so many peoples can now rejoice in seeing their favorite word in Yahoo maps !

Additionally, a very useful but often neglected property of this word, is that it can be spelled in latin alphabet like this = "xyu", and thus cleverly disguised as a mathematical equation.

A story (in Russian only comments, but with pictures) how they have done with this gag:

I'm all for it. While some may argue this was a pointless stunt, it is also harmless. And, in my opinion, funny and amusing...

... Conclusive proof that someone in Russia actually does have a sense of humor!

If xyn spells cock I wonder what spells pompous bellend, Which is what most of these people complaining on the no IT angle are :)

Shurely the shortest stoop in living memory?

I'll get me coat
