ltdiver 3 #1 March 1, 2002 Decided to have a little fun tonight with computer translations.First entered the phrase "Skydiving rocks big time!" and asked my computer translator to translate this from English to Spanish then back again to English. The phrase returned as "Skydiving oscillates great time!"Next -that- new phrase was translated into German then back and came up as "Skydiving reciprocates large time!"-That- phrase into Italian then back! Returned as "Skydiving exchanges the great time!"Then Portuguese: "Skydiving changes the great time!"I, for one, agree that it certainly does! ;^) It just keeps getting greater through the changes. I'm sure all of us sure aren't the same people who started skydiving years (months) (days) ago!Yeehaw! Let's rock!See you guys at the dz.com record this weekend!ltdiver__________________________________________http://www.discover.net/~ltdiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
