Then how about "Binworthium"?
Just to be clear: The -worth- part of the above proposed word is taken from the word "worthy" and does not refer to anyone's no longer used last name.
Edit: Spelling error...

It always seemed to me like this forum was the dutch forum, especially if you look at Graphics Development lately!

The Brits and the Dutch are both quite significant on the forums. We do have quite a few Germans too, and Americans of course. And then quite an assortment of other people from all over the place. One big happy family.

Oh yes. Did you know Facebook translates all your Japanese posts to English using Bing? It makes for interesting reading, although I can usually make some sense out of it

Really? That's so odd. I set my Facebook in Japanese to begin with, and it only offers to translate feeds from celebs, not those of friends...

毎夏、アジア系だから日焼け止めが要らないと信じる。その晩ちょっとピンクの肌を見つけて、いつもいきなりびっくりしてる!
ところで、沖縄人は日焼けになれる?健康の日焼けじゃなくて、本当の「イギリス人はスペインに行って、太陽の光を浴びて、真っ黒になって、「わー!痛い!」って叫ぶという日焼けである。
Every summer, believe the Asian's sunscreen is no need.
Always I'm surprised suddenly, Hey find the pink skin that night! By the way, Okinawan people can become Tan? Healthy Tan, not real "the British Spain, bathed in the light of the Sun, completely black," Wow-! Ouch! "What is a Tan that shout.
