What is the meaning or origin of "Ballaballaba"? It is supposed to be a secret code in a classic literature. What does the code answer? I only found the word used at this link ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=ballaballaba&btnG=Google+Search, but I need more than what's shown in that link. | |

The guestbook entry you are referring to is in Norwegian slang. Its context translated to English is: "Message: Bah! The time is now ten minutes past two... In the dark of the night! (I am free tomorrow, so it doesn't matter much.) I am sitting on something called Internet and spend money because we do not have ADSL. Ballaballaba! I am bored... All small mice ran away, good night! Answer from Silje: er... yes... you arre too bored, I guess?!?!:-p" "Ballaballaba!" is probably just gibberish - it seems like Silje (the keeper of the guestbook) does not care much about it. "Balla" is common Norwegian slang for "testicles", so it is possible that the author is trying to refer to his own (for some reason). Search strategy: I am a native Norwegian, and had great fun trying to find a deeper meaning in this message. :-) |

I suppose the language is Norwegian, and not Finnish: http://silje.langtind.org/modules/gjestebok/ And I suppose that there is no secret code involved. |

Freddy ... Is there any language that you (and your team) don't know? How about Navajo? |
