Re: No text submissions! Bernhard1-Jul-03 0:02 Bernhard 1-Jul-03 0:02  the funny thing is that i get the spanish line, but i don't understand the english line (or the joke in it) [btw i'm austrian.. speaking german] "I'm from the South Bronx, and I don't care what you say: those cows look dangerous."

Bernhard1-Jul-03 1:36 Bernhard 1-Jul-03 1:36  yep.. that's really true.. i have to inform you that i would never use a word like (Oachkozlschwoaf) which is bavarian.. i am from vorarlberg (the part of austria with "the different" language) we talk like the guys in switzerland or the famous 'schwaben' yaya.. things are different than they seem.. can you give me a german translation of the second sentence of this sig?

The "100% unfooled around with" is a partial quote from a Florida Orange Juice commercial on the TV, that has Donald Sutherland's voice over as describing the juice as "100% unfooled around with". ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! Re: No text submissions!

OK - so who else went to an online translator to see if these two sentences bore any relation to one another. Mentats were the human computers in Frank Herbert's Dune series, and the drug they'd take was called sappho. So no, I don't think the devil in his pants has anything to do the Mentat line.

Because in any kind of wizard or graphical code generation, there's always something that needs to be done but the wizard can't do (or doesn't do correctly.) Always.
