Yeah, I was impressed, but I bet it leaves Bubba just as quickly as it entered Bubba.

I feel a lot like this poor kid today.

Justine is finally getting over her cold from last week, and now I have it.  I hope I feel better for Christmas next week.  Been eating soup and drinking tea like it was going out of style.  My nose is sore from blowing.  Bah hum bug.

Went to Pet Smart and Barnes & Noble today with Justine and then slept for a couple hours after that.

Being sick stinks.

Have you ever wondered what is lost or gained in automated translation services?  Have you ever used a web-based language translation tool like Google Translator or BabelFish and gotten a bizarre result?

An amusing site called Blahblah Fish translates your words into the language of your choice and then back out again into english.  Hilarity ensues.  For fun, I entered some famous lyrics from Lynyrd Skynyrd:

(Original)

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

Translated to Russian and back to English:

Sweet domestic Alabama
where the skies is so blue
sweet domestic Alabama lord,
I’m coming home to you

Translated from Spanish and back to English:

Sweet homemade Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet homemade Alabama Gentleman,
I’m that returns to house to you

And my very favorite – Translated to Japanese and back to English:

At the point where the Alabama sky of the sweet house is very blue
Alabama main thing and I’m of the sweet house; where it returns to the house in you.

I think the Japanese translation sounds like a beautiful haiku…maybe better than the original lyrics.

Try it out yourself.

I’m not sure about this one.  Cool or just bizarre?

According to Wikipedia, today is the birthday of Dr. Who. I remember growing up watching Dr Who on the local PBS station thinking the effects were horrible back then, but the stories were always enthralling.

Sister Mary Margaret Halitosis died at the age of 80 this past weekend.  She was survived by her twin sister, Fiona Anne (Halitosis) Flatulence.  Ms. Halitosis’ sister, Mrs Flatulence (formerly Halitosis), married to John Thomas Flatulence in 1948, will read several poems favored by Halitosis at the funeral on Tuesday.

Donations can be made to the American Dental Association in her honor.
