The BMJ (British Medical Journal) often publishes tongue-in-cheek articles around Christmas, and I liked the fact that a serious subject - the use of Google Translate in hospitals when there are no interpreters available - was included in this Christmas Issue.

If anyone finds it too facetious, read the responses to the article. They're serious and relevant.

I find it more scary than amusing.
