Sorry, Joan. My input was just a cynical comment on the translator's output. Wrote down what I read at first reading, and -- I admit -- exaggerated a little bit. This bogus translation wasn't supposed be at the expense of you of course (neither was Blue Pard's). Hey, I wouldn't dare... :-) (you probably know your surname means *strong* in German) Bye, mic

Such translation services in fact are an excellent opportunity for the not-quite-so-serious area of science known as iterative translation analysis. The idea? To translate a piece of text back and forth between two languages, and see if it settles into an attractor - either a single sequence of words that survives the translation, or even possibly a cycle between several versions. More thorough study can be done by repeating the process for slightly different wordings of the same sentence, and seeing whether they converge to the same attractor or not. More complex situations are formed if more than two languages are involved. The results are not only often hilarious, but maybe - just maybe - you might be able to gain some new insight as well. :) -- __,,,------._ ,-/| `-.

>Ya,i had heared of that b4 in a book,"the majik machine",by A.K.Dewdney i think. >I know i got his last name messed up,just dont want hunt for the book A.K. Dewdney's a stark-raving loonie. I was given a copy of his book "The Planiverse" ... it's a book about how he's just futzing around and suddenly "the screen shifted... and I was looking at a whole world of two-dimensional beings" ... [creepy horror music] He goes on and on and on about these little figments of his imagination. The most interesting part of this demented creation is that he's only been able to reproduce his results for anyone other then these two or three people... Of course, if the media's involved, "It must not be a good time to contact the other world. I'm sorry." Uh-huh. He becomes "friends" with one of the hallucinations and names it "Yendred" . I don't think it's a coincidence that it's almost exactly his last name backwards. Dewdney= "Yendwed" ... If you wondered, his full name is Alexander Keewatin Dewdney.
