Isegrim Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Reading the babelfished German version of the "newspaper article" always cheers me up... Aye all because Peter was too impatient to wait for you to come online and translate it for him... It wouldn't have been as funny if not for the text being pure gibberish and people still falling for it. The fake site was s*** too Didnt you even come into the thread and say 'it looks dodgy' and you were still ignored? Thats when i decided to get Nils to translate it at work. "Vy are you translating football articles into Swiss-german?' "erm, well, i'm not, you see theres this website..." I said it here and in various pms. I still don't know why people kept asking me if they did not (want to) believe me anyway. The best thing was that people didn't notice that even the names were translated. Frederick Schäferhund (Shepherd) and Alan Schermaschine (Shearer). Even the name of one of the blokes was translated to Schutze and they didn't get it. It was just brilliant. http://loerrach-zeitung.de/artikelhitz.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
