Well, maybe you should ask Steffen of Houses if the disturbing and well-known-of nose is his :-P

What does "since long time soon" mean? Some kind of time traveler tense?

"The fans operate derest." Well, I like quiet (expensive) high quality fans...

"now about a drop of dragee" Yeah, some candy would be nice right now!


Silly computer linguistics anecdote:

One of the first natural language translation programs - way back in the 60's - translated between English and Russian.

The top brass came by and was given a demo. When asked to give a phrase to translate, one of the execs suggested "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Said and done, the phrase was translated to Russian, then back to English.

The result: "The meat is rotten, but the vodka is strong."

All your base are belong to us,

Oh, I just figured out what "since long time soon" must refer to. The release date of the next Amiga  :-D
