OMG! LLOOOLL @ Yamaha Legs!

by the way, the usual problems of babelfish is getting the sentences in the
right way...

Happy - Feliz
New - Novo
Year - Ano

In portuguese you say Feliz Ano Novo not Ano Novo Feliz... ;o) Just put them
in backwards... the first is normally the last.. or something..i'm too
"drunk" to explain :oD

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
