What's this about studying alien languages? I've known Morris for almost thirty years, and I've been in linguistics that long too -- and I've never heard that story, even as a joke! It sure sounds cool, however!!
- Whatever it was, it's gone now. It might have just been poor English for "foreign languages". What I want to know is the story behind "né Pinkowitz". What were the circumstances under which he changed his last name? --Angr/tɔk tə mi 15:34, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
The alien languages thing turned up on Alt.conspiracy.roswell some years back, it is my understanding, much to the amusement of professor Halle. When asked about it he "could neither confirm or deny my involvement in any such activity nor would be disposed to discuss such an activity if indeed it had taken place". Those who have encountered professor Halle over the years can correctly identify this as his famous dry wit. However to the conspiracy community, this probably threw more gas on the fire.
I asked Halle, whom I have known for over thirty years, about this and he confirmed that it is a legend. I think he's getting tired of it. He had a speculation as to its origin which I won't repeat. Bill 23:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
