Translating Quiznos, and the cakes of the food of the devil.

I saw a sign in Quiznos, written in Italian. It reads "Non sapevo che tu fossi filosofo."

I, a non-Italian speaker, used Google language tools to translate this. Literally (according to Google), it means "I did not know that you pits philosopher."

What?! I looked it up using Google search, finding the line that makes more sense: "I did not know that you were a philosopher."

Still, what's Quiznos doing with this sign? It has nothing to do with food... except with the philosophy part. I have a strong philosophical bond with food. So strong, in fact, that I could die if I don't eat. Crazy world.

And if you want a tasty recipe for devils food cake, check out this translation from English to Portuguese to English to German to English. Have fun.

COMPONENTS:
* Cocoa ungesuesst from 3/4 of the bowl
* 1 sugar granulated 1/3 of the bowl
* 1 1/4 of bowl milk, escaldado
* 2 bowls of the flour of the cake, sieved or before measuring excited
* 1 1/4 of soda water of baking the teeloeffel
* 1 salt teeloeffel
* fat of 2/3 of the bowl
* 3 eggs
* 1 1/4 of the excerpt of vanilla of the teeloeffel

PREPARATION: 9-inch lubricates two cake containers of the layer and aligns deeply with wax paper. It lubricates the wax paper. Sieve the cocoa with sugar of 1/3 of the bowl; you are buried gradually in the milk; it moves to good mixes up. It reserves for cooling. Sieve that that together flour, the remaining sugar of 1 bowl, the soda water and salt. It adds the fat and half of the mixture of the cooling of the cocoa and of milk. Notice in the average speed of an electrical mixer hand. It adds eggs, vanilla, and the remaining mixture the cocoa and the milk 0ccasionally continues the notice per approximately 2 minute and rubs the basin with a putty. Overflow in prepared containers. Coza in 350° for 25 the 30 minutes. It cools down in the containers per 5 minute; it turns for it is in the racks and in the bowls outside of the paper. It cools and it down bereift the cakes of the food of the devil, as desired.

Alex in play, doesn't tell blog

Alex Taylor, one of the three original members of the blog, auditioned for and got the lead roll in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

...Now, I'm not one to start trouble, but isn't that a very bloggable event? I'd certainly blog about it. I blog about few things, because, quite frankly, my life at this point is boring. Why do I even blog, I have nothing of real importance to contribute to society?

Because it makes me feel big, and that was a pretty rude question.

Needless to say, I'm proud of you Alex, and I will be prepping tomatoes and heads of lettuce for the premire.

I love a good salad before I go to a play, it helps to set the mood. Like I'm going to waste food. Stupid rhymes. I'm out of here dude.

Blue fuzzy earmufffs enjoy chocolate chunk cookies with candy sprinkles

So there I was: it was 3:30 Tuesday afternoon and I was watching Dave the Barbarian and some show about the world ending and eating chocolate frosting out of a can when I received a great insight: Naps are wonderful. Oh, and I have no life… So, if the world was going to end tonight at say, oh 8:00 (hypothetically – I honestly don’t know anything about the world getting blown up by a…well, I better not say), how would YOU spend your remaining hours? I can tell you what I would be doing. Taking a nap.

One more thing: I’m starting to notice that I scare myself sometimes. You know, like you’re standing there and somebody comes up behind you and goes CHEETOS really loud in your ear. Yeah I do that…to myself. It all started after I invented time travel, too… Weird, huh?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- The Official Movie Website

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - This looks good. I wish I read the books. Oh well.

It is just funny to read (I love junk email)

From: The Desk of Efetobor Greg,
Senior Manager: Union Bank PLC,
36 Marina Street,
Lagos.
Dear friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction. This is by virtue of its nature being
utterly confidential and top secret. We have decided
to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction, as we have been reliably informed of your discretness, trustworthy and
ability to carry out
legitimate business.
THE PROPOSITION: A foreigner and American, Late Engr.
james Walker, an Oil merchant with the Federal
Government of Nigeria, until his death on an Egypt Air
Flight #990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean
on October 31, 1999, banked with us at UNION BANK PLC
Lagos and had a closing
balance of US$10,000,000.00 (Ten Milion United States
Dollars Only) as at the end of September, 2000.
crash in 1999:
Valuable efforts have been made by the bank to get in
touch with any of the Walker's family or relative,
but to no avail. The only Next of Kin address that
was given to the bank by Late Engr. Neal Walker was
at Sierra Loene, West Africa, in the person of Mrs.
Mabel Brain. However, the said address was destroyed
during the last rebel crisis in Sierra Leone and the
woman was reportedly dead together with other United
Nations Officials. It is because of the perceived
impossibility of locating a relative of the Late
Engr. James Walker (since they never gave birth to a
child) that the bank is making plans to conceed the
said amount to the Defence Ministry for the
procurement of weapons of war. In order to avert
this ugly situation, few of
my colleagues and I have decided to contact you and
seek your permission to have you stand as Next of
Kin to Late Engr. James Walker so that the total
amount of US$10 Million Dollars will be processed
and released in your favour into your personal
account.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out.
We have secured from
the probate, an order of Madamus, to locate any of
the deceased beneficiary. Be rest assured that this
transaction is risk-free. Also, your share for
offering to assist us and provide the receiving
account will be 20% of the total sum, while 80% will
be for my colleagues and I, which also would be in
your account for safe custody and probable future
investment purpose in your country.
As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of your
willingness to accept our proposal, we shall
furnish you with further details as we concluded all
arrangements to have the money transferred to you
within 7 working days from the date of commencement.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, then furnish us
with your most confidential telephone and fax
numbers at which time an application for the fund
release will be forwarded in your favour.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Regards,
Efetobor Greg
