For our international readers, you can now get instant translations of the Roach Family Blog through Altavista Babelfish translator. You can get translations to Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, French or Italian. Not that it'll ever be used, but just in case.
If you're curious, the Babelfish name comes from Douglas Adams' Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy book series. From Wikipedia, "When a Babel fish is inserted into the ear canal it allows the wearer to 'instantly understand anything said... in any form of language.'"
The babelfish itself is a reference to the biblical Tower of Babel, which was destroyed by God and the languages of the nations were confused and scattered to different parts of the Earth.
