  • Did my part of turning this text into nonsense and sent it to Winston.
    The Chuck Norris military unit was not used in the game Civilization 4, because a single Chuck Norris could defeat the entire combined nations of the world in one turn.

    • I'm so eager to see the results already! Until Krill, I can more or less follow the process of translation, then there's a bunch of weird languages.

          • Adagio's up!

            I can't wait to see the final result of this, and hopefully get some idea of how it's been butchered up along the way.

            I like the 2nd poem best BTW. I can sense it used to be beautiful - about eight translations ago..

                          • I'm already working on a nice analysis of each and every translation so we can easily see how the poems have changed. At least in those languages that I understand.

                            I think it's already a good laugh up until Flandrien does the French -> English.

                                so I hope Az does not take the meanings literally...
