ah.. but you forget. Pitr isn't Russian... he only pretends to be (see original thread in the strip, or the more recent strip where he went to work for Google, and when he tries to impress this random programmer he learns she actually _is_ Russian, and he retreats!).. .anyway... as such, I wrote in english, but using the cyrillic characters (or closest equivalent) for the above. Had I used our alphabet, the text above would have read:

"Indeed. And, as Pitr doesn't actually speak Russian, but just pretends to, I am responding in the cyrillic font, but writing in English. Confusing, no? (actually, if you know how to pronounce the cyrillic letters, you can read this quite easily!)"

..it's just something we evil geniuses do, from time to time...

I know; I thought that (i.e. writing english, with a fake slavic accent alphabet) was what was going on. But being to lazy to figure out the transliteration manually, I fed it through Google Language Tools, which translated a few words that got (un)lucky, but transliterated everything it couldn't translate. The result, while giving a very good sense of the meaning, was highly amusing, that's all.
