just an email i received today. can anyone understand what he's talking about?

Hello mrs. mihnea,...

my english isn t very good. Indeed.
Ive heard of these news by kais german only inofficial website www.byteburg.de .
Only the betabook of him are in english too. So not a lot of kais software buyers of the past could now what happened in our country. In "Rhine-eck" and "his" Tower near by Cologne "Hemmersbach". I met him four times the last years in Byteburg I.
But let me speak about Bryce 5.5.:
www.Daz3d.com (I forget 3d in the petition. Could you correct this anyway) a company near by Bryce canyon Utah take the match.
I hope they read your petiton very well, because of the interesting names a.s.o. in it.
They mailed kai and I hope they would be a good interaction take place.
Everybody is welcome to make a well fingerprint for Bryce 6, I think.

Daniel

You mean HER ass, drac?? :D

mrs Drac [ooops] looks like he translated with BabelFish... a thing that's really funny. Try to write something in English, then letting it translating in French, then in Portoguese, then back to English. :)) And your petition was HUGE. We all Bryce lovers loved it, so you don't have to be surprised if it reached other countries. S.

All your bases are belong to us..;) everything old is new again, just like in a long long trailer..;) klaatu, barada nicto..;) thou has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting..the frequency, dear Kenneth, is 867.5309mhz..;)

someone take pakled off whatever he's taking... :D

and ardiva: sure :D

OMG LIES! Drac (it is rather cute though)

I think that little gremelin up there should be named "Mrs Drac"! :D (wondering when the REAL "Mrs Drac" will show up)

C'mon, Pakled, it's all over... the guys in white are coming, then everything will be nice again. q: What's the frequency, Kenneth? (A: 42) P.S.: Klatu Barada Nikto is the opening message everytime I switch on my cellphone, LOL. Common ground, here, Pak :)

Stefano... where life is beautiful all the time & we like to see those "Nice young men in their clean white coats". hee hee ho ho, to the... ;)

Having had to work with too may broken english europeans in the last year: - You forgot to call it Bryce 3D in your petition, please fix it. - Daz bought Bryce - He hopes they read your petition because it had some industry names on it - Daz has emailed Kai (Krause probably) - He hopes everyone buys Bryce 3D 6 That's my best guess at a translation ma'am. ;)

q: What's the frequency, Kenneth? (A: 42) Aaaahhhh...an REM fan AND Hitch Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy fan!! My 2 cents' guess is he doesn't know that Daz bought Bryce, and he's letting you know about secret meetings between Kai and Bryce in the castle on the Rhine ;o) He suspects that SOMETHING IS GOING ON!! So he wasn't far off the mark, was he? :o)

I love this one: "it is simply too chock full of Germanicisms, local idioms, idiotic word play, palindromes and nuns of all sorts." Nuns! Is that the rhyming slang, I wonder. :-) I'd say that the author of the mail had four meetings with Kai Krause, cause that on the link is Krause's unofficial site. And he forgot to put 3D in the petition. He also hopes that DAZ takes a good look at the petition, cause it has some interesting names as well as "a.s.o.", which I guess means and so on, a translation of u.s.w - und so weiter. (that's a typical German abbreviation.) Then, he says they, almost certainly DAZ, mailed Krause and hopes that they will have good cooperation. Finally, he hopes that everybody has good input in Bryce 6. Phew. All these years of evolution could have come up with something better than Babelfish. :-)

"byteburg" is Kai Krause, inventor of Bryce's GUI, btw. (for anyone who's crawling out from underneath their rock) AgentSmith

silly germans. and stop calling me mrs. i don't have boobies. i wish i did, but i don't. MR. Drac

AH HA!

correction - sorry, I meant meetings between Kai and Daz, not Kai and Bryce (post 15) Edit to add - HAH - just found the reason for his use of the word 'nun' ;^) And did you ever hear the old joke about the insomniac dyslexic agnostic? He lay awake all night wondering if there was a dog. ;^)

LOL -- way to go, John! :) "If I was a woman, I'd pass all day touching my tits" (Woody Allen, badly re-translated from Italian) S.

LMAO, Mrs Drac "I want to have your babies." could be a misleading statement seeing as how its women who mostly want to have babies, maybe this guy has seen you say that? I have to say that was a very interesting email, thanks for sharing it. And looks like we've got some good translations of it as well.

DIGITALLY! I WANT TO HAVE THEIR [Ed- non-poser] BABIES DIGITALLY! AND BOOBIES! Drac

Dear Frauline Drac, I think he's either asking you to change the reference in the petition to daz 3d or to bryce 3d because he did a search and found the national park. I know a good surgeon who can give you boobies. Or do you just want to borrow some?

at this point in time, they're actually hte last thing on my list of things to do. packing would be no 1 :D

Don't you mean "teh last thing"? :^D

quite possibly :D

Now let me get this straight...you mean you want to have "DIGITAL BOOBIES", drac? looking confused and befudled

In the interest of political correctness, how about Ms. Drac ? Let me summarize; Things are the way they are or else they'd be different ! What I got from the message is Kai Krause has a plan for global domination.

@sackrat- ROFLMAO!!

rolls eyes :P

I was just messin' with y'all..I don't know if Drac would know or remember, but we had a guy who would drop in the Writer's forum who could do this kinda stuff for hours..;) sorry, it was the Sci-fi movie (the day the earth stood still..I think..;), They Might Be Giants, the bible (mene mene tekel upharsin..a coupla chapters where the king wants it translated, that's the translation), and of course, a tribute to REM (Dan Rather as well), and Tommy Tutone in the same sentence..;) hey, I explained it..might not make me any the less crazy..;) and there's also a Carrara artist here who has the knack for this sorta thing..no names, please..;)

I feel like I've walked into an episode of Christopher Walken theater. Mimes frighten me!

More Cowbell!

Re: translation, re-translation: There's an old(ish) apocryphal tale about an early(ish) computer programmed to translate between English and Russian (or possibly German, or Japanese, or ... depends who you hear it from..) The computer was asked (commanded) to translate the (English idiomatic) phrase: "Out of sight, out of mind". The result, after being processed into the other language, then back into English, came back as: "Blind idiot". :-)) Cheers, Diolma

back when Babblefish.com first came out, it was a joke to translate through 2 or 3 languages..what came back was unrecognizeable..;)

@pakled, and it isn't anymore ;p
