"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

My German is ubersucky, and I could be giving it up for GCSEs. As far as i could translate, Oddys's sentence reads:

"Now, I come from Germany, and I speak somthing better German than English. That lays (as in 'is positioned') something something, that I live here."

Wohl might be 'though', as in obwohl (although).

Bring Sligslinger in, he speaks most languages...

I feel your pain, Majic. I too am in French, as it's required to have Foreign Language credits for your high school diploma.

Yesterday was my first day, and my French teacher didn't say one word in English for a whole half hour...

Is there any way to treat such hefty emotional trauma?

How ironic... I'm making a mock-enlistment poster for an art project, and I want the text to be in German. I was wondering if someone could translate this for me...

The Black Gaurd*

Become the social misfit you have always dreamed of being. Enlist today!

*The word for police, secret police, or military police in place of "gaurd" would be just as nifty.

Use the Altavista translator. You can type in the whole thing.

You might also want to do some translation cross checking, if needed. Try like freetranslations.com or something. Or, just go and ask your high school German teacher:-p

That was assuming that accuracy mattered. If not, hell, no one will know the difference.

Well, Ive got a lot of German heritage, and almost half German. But I do not speak any German at all. Perhaps I should take it next year.
