sleep is good, m'kay?
have you ever left the t'v on when you've been asleep and there's been a show on in another language? i swear, just as you're waking up, you can understand it! that's my 'universal translator' theory in a nutshell*

i'm sure there's something to it
i've passed out in many a spanish hotel room, often with the telly on. i can always understand what's being said, right up until the point that i wake up properly. my theory is that we all have an inbuilt universal translator, but our brains can't cope with it yet, so it only comes through in our subconscious.
