Why, sawubona!

When you first sign into Flickr, you're greeted with a cheery message like the one above. At least, I always assumed it was a greeting; I don't think it specified before. But as you can see now, I'm totally vindicated -- the (presumably new) grey text below the message not only assures you of its salutatory intentions but also indicates what language it's in. You're provided with a new greeting every time you reload the page, cycling through a variety of useful languages, proving that Flickr is both friendly AND educational. I'm just disappointed that the "Ahoy username!" option isn't followed up by "Now you know how to greet people in Pirate!"
