During the old days, there were no communications gadgets yet. So during wars, runners were used to send messages.
During such times, a captain sent a message to the rear, saying "Send us reinforcements we're are going to advance!".
This message was relayed via five runners, and when it finally reached the CO, the message was repeated as "send us refreshments, we are going to a dance!".

Had they encoded it in ASCII, with a checksum for each block sent (preferably mulitple redundant blocks), this kinda stuff would never happen

That's actually a childrens' game called 'Stille Post' (literally 'silent mail'). The message is passed on by quickly wispering it into the neighbor's ear, who then passes on whatever was understood and the last one in line loudly says whatever nonsense came out in the end.
Often enough we play this involuntarily at work.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's known as Chinese Whispers in the UK (except for where the ultra PC claim the name is offensive).
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

This joke originated ~100 years ago round about the time of the First World War. And the correct (mis)interpretation is "Send three and fourpence we're going to a dance". Commonly known as Chinese whispers.

I've finally seen Frozen[^] last weekend.
Great movie and great songs. Let It Go is pretty much on repeat...
And I'm only two years late to the party too

Some friends had a Christmas play "Unfrozen"; same general theme, but they changed all of the lyrics... kids did a good job, very enjoyable.

I saw it with the kids when it came out. It's OK. I have no idea what the huge fuss is about. It wasn't that good of a movie. The kids did like it though.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Part 2 always sucks. I'll wait for part 3

Seen it last year before Christmas, and I enjoyed it as well. My daughter is literally crazy about it.
It was the first movie I have watched on a HD TV, and the rendering is fantastic. I've seen a few movies about how they animate the characters, very impressive. And the music is great (the french version is even better than the US one, IMO).

I don't understand the hype (but then again: I don't have any children)!
In my opinion, it's one of the worst Disney movies EVER! (And this comes from a guy that actually likes Disney movies!)

Really? What makes you say that?
I thought it was pretty good and one of the better animations I've seen in a while.
I don't have any children, but inside I'm still a kid myself (aren't all men?)

Terrible, terrible film.
No explanation of the back story, countless animation errors, and a horrible message.
Anyone weird needs to be isolated from normal people, and the other sister is so desperate for a man, any man, that she falls in love with the first man she meets until he tries to kill her then falls in love with the second man she meets instead.

Terrible message, but Disney didn't invent that. That's life... If you're a little different people don't want you and they can be mean. As an ex-'goth' I know this first hand (actually I just dressed in back, wore some spikes, boots, etc). What I got from the movie was, despite the fact people are going to hate you for who you are, you can make what you want of it. Don't cast away the ones you love, ignore the nay-sayers, together you stand strong.
Funny how we got such entirely different messages from the same movie

That's just about any Disney movie even. The public needs some romance!

I was cutting the grass earlier and a small frog went underneath the fly-mo. It came back out. In pieces. Lots of pieces.
There certainly are a lot of bits that make up a creature so small!
