Prometheus 6   

Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not trying to embarass anyone, but I saw someone used Google to translate this page into German! I wish I knew how it turned out; typically American, typically provincial, that's me.

My favorite part:


Begl�ckw�nschen Sie mich, ich erhielt mein erstes Arschloch

Ein Pinhead, der von I.P-Adresse 205,188,209,103 bekanntgibt, war, also incensed durch den Pfosten direkt unten, er glaubte der Notwendigkeit, einer kreativen Anmerkung, wit(less) zu �berlassen:

"haben Sie etwas Malzgetr�nk, Arschloch"

und unterzeichnet ihm mit dem gleichm��ig gescheiten:

"' Ursache sind Sie ein fucking Idiot"

In der Antwort sage ich, ich bask in Ihrem opprobrium. Und ich entschuldige mich bei jedermann, das so nah an diesem Ruck lebt, da� ihr IP in der Strecke 205.188.209.xxx ist.


I can see using "Arschloch" instead of "asshat," which is so popular with my peers.

For some reason this drives home to me the international aspect of the Internet for me. And it makes me think about some to the ebonics I use here that will seriously be lost in the translation.

Another interesting thing is, the posts were translated but the sidebar was untouched. Not just the blogrolling.com stuff, but all of it went untranslated.

If you're curious about it here's the link that did the translating.
