    man, i shoulda read the caption first.. it's the guy's last name.. but it seems to be misspelled.. the caption says his last name is 'shumylo,' but the arabic appears to be 'sumylo..'

    the right-most letter (the 'w'-looking one) should have three dots (in trianglular formation) on top of it for the 'sh' sound.. but yeah, that is all..

    You don't see the black Arabic writing across the mask right over the mouth?

    Ain't it awesome how you just throw some abstract thing out on this bbs and POOF! an answer before you can blink...

    I have done the same thing with a bunch of computer prob's, translating Mandarin text...I even had a couple people take some Mandarin text and read it in Chinese into a mic and email me the wav. AWESOME! We ought to test the abilities of the board sometime. Pretend like all of the people of the board are just functioning as a part of a whole and see what kind of crap we could do...


    No more beers for me tonight.
