I have been trying to locate a sample of Bork Opera for a few days now. A badly set up Word voice application might suffice though. There are such things as random word processors. I have used one on a poetry page. Sadly no longer obtainable due to Delphi groups having a bad dose of mismanagement some time back. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Feed his article URL into the Shannonizer and you will find it emerges with its intelligility largely unaltered. http://www.nightgarden.com/shannon.htm It is a pretty good, if unkind test of kookiness ;-) Regards, Martin Brown |

I have to say, Joe B's style is somewhat reminiscent of Russel Grant the
famous Astrologer. "Gianna Stefani" wrote in message ... Ron Button wrote: Is there anybody out there who can speak American and give us a translation of the following....?

I'd have said that a Border Collie had intuition but I wouldn't have ascribed it to a bulldog. A strong constitiution perhaps, perseverence certainly, doggedness absolutely. Intuition? I don't think so. The ability to forecast the weather? Definitely not. - Tom. |

I don't think so. The ability to forecast the weather? Definitely not. So, perhaps "bulldog intuition" is accurate. I parsed the sentence as "of all of the people in the weather business who possess the intuition of a bulldog, Joe's the hardest working one." LOL Or perhaps even, as this is not a porn group, "... of all the people working in the weather business, Joe is the one with abs of steel." Philip Eden |

Alright Joe *******i can seemingly talk lots of gibberish. Then he can at
times come across as very aggressive; especially to poor old Ken Reeves on "Point Counter Point". There are times his outrageous forecasts fall flat on their face, but then there is the very odd prediction that is 'spot on'. In essence Joe can occassionally be a right *******i! |
