    Who says it's a rhyming poem to begin with? I think making the different versions rhyme is way down the list of secondary priorities here.

      As the rules say: Dictionaries are allowed. However you should stick to a book and not use the computer for translation. Online translations are not what we'd want.

      If you have no dictionary book, okay, you can use one of the online dictionaries (like wordreference.com) or something like that...
      You should use your imagination, knowledge and a book if you have. You know, the typical classroom situation that the teacher brings up: you are sitting in the desert,....

      OTOH verb conjugation is okay with me if you do online. There's a good online conjugator here: http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/index.asp (it can do almost all languages). But well, better just stay with that...

        Hey, if you want it mangled, I'm your man...sure, I'll do it then.
        You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

          Hell yea! But the result might come a bit... messy.

          Have you chosen the poem yet, Atahualpa?
          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.

            It seems Ata is looking to make the experience as messy as possible

            Only a few people translate to or from their native languages. Ata prefered the "for fun" languages when possible

                        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                              I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
