This is a collection of random ideas and thoughts, which I will probably post when I'm bored or procrastinating.

More about our good ol' buddy MSN :-p

MSN's a funny thing. Occasionally you get bored with the normal talking, so you start new things. Attempting to translate French for instance. This is particularly interesting for a non-French speaker like me :-) Or then, on MSN 7, there's the good old ink drawing.....it's good for pictures, house plans, you name it! I haven't tried the games yet, but I think that might be on the agenda in the near future. Checkers, anyone?

    Don't sell yourself short! You were translating beautifully. In spite of the fact that you had later employed Babelfish to help, you still kept getting it right.
    You worked out John 3:16 faster than instantly on your own, whereas Babelfish still thinks that the French: Louis Segond (1910) translation of John 3:16 says:

    "Because God so much liked the world which it gave his Only son, so that whoever believes in him does not perish, but that it has the eternal life."

    This is what Babelfish came up with after translating John 3:16 though the following languages starting from the NKJV:

    English
    German
    French
    Greek
    English

    "For the God, the world that has given in the threads more only certified, has liked in order that that will not be supposed he dies eternal in life it has more whoever nevertheless it considers."

    Incompetence! Especially in light of Noof's much-betterness.
