It would be funnier if it was "Beowulf is min nama!" and then
whatever in Greek... Ok, maybe just the language geeks would get a
laugh out of that.
(Ok, once at Kalamazzo, a couple of people got on the same elevator
with me, talking quite animatedly in some Germanic tongue. I was busy
perusing the session catalog- until suddenly I realized that they
were conversing in Anglo-Saxon! I couldn't join in because all I
could come up with at the moment was "Hwaet! We Gar-Dena in
gear-dagum/ theod-cyninga, thrym gefrunon..." But it was way cool to
actually hear the language used... as language.)
