A music video called "Word Dissassociation"(I spelled it wrong). Interesting.
BlahblahFish. It's fun. It's like the Babelfish game, simplified. The Babelfish game - you type something, translate it, copy it, and translate it back. This makes it so you just have to type it, and it translates and retranslates for you. Amusing. Some end up worse than others. The ones at the top of the list sometimes rendered the last word as "sound" or did odd things to pronouns, but they weren't dissimilar. I put some of the more amusing ones here.
"Your idea is better than it sounds"
Portuguese: " Its idea is better of the one than it sounds."
Russian: " Your idea more best than it zvuchayet."
Korean: " The sound is born and compared to your idea which recovers." (WTF?)
Chinese: " Your idea compares it to sound."
Japanese: " Your thought rather than sounding, is good."
Croatian: " Yours the idea of had ultra than what IT voice."
Czetch: " Yours invention is better than yon sounds."
Danish: " Yours sense is worse luck than themselves sound."
Norwegian: " Din conceived am better than it beeps."
Serbian: " Your idea 3. wis with IT BE from present better than it sound."
Slovenian: " yours idea there is sooner yound this voice."
Welsh: " ' dogs idea he is being improve I do I plumb."
Turkish: " thine thought bkz. hi better dan he sound."
and finally, almost sensibly, Latin: " Your concept is better how this sound."
The top rated/most recent things are all random profanity and lame bragging about sex. :/ I don't get the fascination, but then again I'm not a twelve-year-old boy. (Oooh, burn!)
It's fun, though. Saw it linked here. "Vorlagendoppelwielder." Heh.
"Point and laugh, kid, because he is about to do something stupid. Point and laugh."
And smiles, child, because he will make the stupid matter. And smiles.
Point and grin , babe , because he is round to get something limited. Point and grin.
shower and merriment , without rime or reason , wherefore whenas he is thereby to practice white elephant woodenheaded. shower and merriment. <-The hell?!
I point I go he laughs , he wishes , because he is being about to do something stupid. I point I go he laughs.
Spear and to laugh at kid , since he is over, upon to do anyone stupid. Spear and to laugh at.
Okay! Let's try something that doesn't make much sense in English, either! "I am He as You are He and We are now together." Bottom to top.
I to be This when You are This and We are now in one.
I am he as you are he and we are at present together.
it's me him undivulged you are him and we're we are today together.
I'm He as You're He and We're now comparison.
I is He as though You art He and Accustom art today gather.
I am He that is to say You are He and Vi is actually between them.
I being now to have us who are he together am he.
With we now together you because of the convenience me, it is that.
I will be it in proportion to you will be it and we now together.
I am him because you are him and we are now together.
I am this since you are this and are now joint.
Fun.
Seven sins, seven virtues, seven wonders,five senses, two hands. Keep your shirt on, damned if you do damned if you don't, old habits die hard, where there's smoke there's fire. Soar/sore. Brave new world, into thin air, all that glitters isn't gold, truth will out.
Lynette's senses of smell and taste are almost nonexistent. Most birds are like that. She can barely smell anything at all, and taste is actually strongest in her gullet, between her beak and her crop. Then she registers something, but it's not as nuanced as human taste.
Touch is an interesting affair. Feathers have a little sensation at the roots, so it's possible to feel if they're being pressed on. Some sensitivity in the beak, very little in the tongue, almost none around her nostrils. I suppose her feet are the most sensitive, but still not as much so as human hands.
Her hearing's good. Not spectacular, and pretty close to human-normal in terms of sensitivity, but good enough. She has no external ears, and feathers cover the openings, but they work fine. Higher and lower pitched sounds - she's got a slightly expanded range.
Sight is her strongest sense. She's a bird, after all. Glare and reflection on water mean little to her; she's designed to see through it. Her eyes are sharp; movement catches her attention quickly, but she still has no trouble picking out individual grains of sand. Nicititating membranes fuzz things up a little. They're needed to protect her eyes. Birds are tetrachromatic, unlike humans who are only trichromatic. The range of color and the visual light spectrum are wider.
Electromagenetism. It's weak, but it's there. She can feel the magnetic pull of the Earth and always knows True North by a faint tug between her eyes. Specific locations have a different magnetic feel. I'm going tp have to give more thought to this.
