Bork! Bork! Bork! is an easter egg of sorts in Guild Wars.

If you go to the language options in the game one of the options you can choose is indeed (I kid you not - it's easy enough to verify) Bork! Bork! Bork!. Choosing it will convert your interface to the sort of speech favored by the Swedish Chef of the Muppet Show.

If you are running that option you don't get the little text window at login that warns you about bots. Thus the original post was entirely topical to the game, though somewhat surreal if you didn't happen to be aware of this little tidbit.

I'd have posted this in the original thread but it's been closed for some reason. This should alleviate the obvious puzzlement of some of the readers of that strange little thread.

Bork, bork, bork! is also a recognized language by Google. They have a Google search engine in that language. Then again, they also have one in Pig Latin.

By the way if you were wondering, Google's Bork, bork, bork! is basically English spelled phonetically with a somewhat Scandinavian accent... but not correctly. It also includes several -a suffixes. Quite entertaining to read actually, you might want to check it out.

Don't forget Hacker (H4x0r), Elmer Fudd, and Klingon. Might be some new ones or something I've forgotten since the last time I checked, though.
