Um...wow. I think that's the longest run through the fish I've ever seen. Almost makes me want to run out and learn German so I can laugh twice as hard.

Hrm...could use that as another way to put off this linear algrebra homework.

I think I'm going to make "THEIR COMPLETE LOWER SURFACE ARE AUDITION EXAMPLE TO US." my new motto.

Yes, that's exactly the effect I had hoped to have.

Hee hee hee... When I discovered Bablefish I translated the phrase "And the midgets came over the rise with their pex dispensers and torches... " into porteguise (sp?), and then back to English...lol

It came back "And the drawrves stood up with their deliverers of the fish ablaze..." LOL

So I'm doing a little programming exercise.... (This is what's called foreshadowing...)

I once wrote a poem about the eels in my hovercraft, and ran it through all the languages it had at the time... does that count?

'My hovercraft is full of eels' wound up being 'My vehicle of the pneumatic shock-absorber is full with the conger-eels'.
