    It was in '09 when Jim visited Outer Craplepistan. Having translated many useful phrases through Microsoft he felt genuinely able to converse with the Boratesque populous. It was then he yelled his favourite phrase "Kiss my ass" in best Craplepistanish to a very ugly mustachioed woman. Unfortunately for Jim, due to a bizarre historical occurrence involving a 16th century monarch, 14 monkeys, 4 yards of rope, 3 concubines and a turnip, "Kiss my ass" was a colloquialism for "I demand your daughters hand in marriage". Jim was at first adamantly against the engagement, but the AK-47 has an uncanny means of persuasion ...

    This story reminds me of all those SPAM emails that have bits and pieces of random articles, lore, and stories - all glued together - same kind of odd read. It was YOU! LOL

      All week long I wait for Friday when I can troll The Lounge and read up. Yet another Friday and I'm not disappointed by the wit and huomor.

        AMEN! Not English. I had a hard enough time learning it the first time around.

            New? :wtf: Didn't Dictionary.com have a translator up and running like over 6 years ago??? Oh right. Its a widget now. That makes it new I guess... wait no... Google did that already a few years ago.

            Altavista's babelfish service has been around at least 10 years. Best named translator of the bunch. :)

              Speaking of languages, I have a small question about ours. You know words right, two or three at least? OK, 'Plausible' is it quantifiable? Would it be correct to say that something is the 'most plausible'? I say not, you would say 'most probable', or perhaps 'most feasible'. I know it's silly, but there's an argument that must be put to an end! :laugh:

              My current favourite word is: Delicious!

              I say the quantifiability of plausible is infinitely deniable and neither is it enumerable, in other words its a singularity, but don't tell Microsoft otherwise they'll hit us all with breach of copyright claims.
