Guest Der Unbekannte Jäger Posted November 17, 2000 Share Posted November 17, 2000 Heres something funny though... Since everything here in Canadia must be in french and english my towns pool has the following sign: "Piscine Pool" Read it all together and you'll get why its funny. ------------------ "The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum."

For kicks, try translating something from English to French/German/Other and back to English again. It makes it kind of amusing. Or run it from language to language and back again to make it totally unintelligible. This is what PawBroon does before posting in English. ------------------ "Nuts!"

PawBroon Posted November 17, 2000 Share Posted November 17, 2000 Il est interdit d'uriner dans la piscine. C'est sale. C'est degoutant. Cela n'est pas hygienique.

For me it was quite crystal clear. I've been doing French for most of my life so it's a bit unfair. But if I were you, I wouldn't be too offended.

It was out in Book form and then 7 one hour tv episodes and it was available on 3 Lp's 30 minutes each side (for 6 episodes) ANYWAY..... the Bablefish was a mystical creature that you slipped into your ear and it would translate ANY language to the one language you understood. So in intergalatic travel it was essential and would save your bacon so you could talk to anyone any where about anything, and now it is just a bablefish.com web site... oh well -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you adore him so. Now tell him for me, if you would be so sweet, to return our file so that I can wipe my arse with him. For you two, I like to be a little extra cordial. My family's roots are Scottish, and my mother is hald French. Thus, I have an appreciation for the two of you and try not to berate you as badly as the others.
