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.
