Unknown Language

For the Philip K. Dick fans, I threw three quotes (and a pizza recipe) into Google Translator, translate the text into 10 languages (English --> German --> Greek --> French --> Hebrew --> Albanian --> Irish --> Estonian --> Japanese --> Russian --> Bulgarian --> English) and here's the juicy result: Original Text: First of all, why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication. Second of all, all biologic phenomena act to adjust: there are no biologic actions other than adjustments. Adjustment is another name for Equilibrium. Equilibrium is the Universal, or that which has nothing external to derange it.     And last, that is not dead which c

The Titan who didn't know when to stop

Titan Prometheus loved humans and humankind. But why did a supreme being show so much love to a trivial race such as humans? Maybe it's because in some version of the myth (before 4BC) he was the maker of the human race. Prometheus, mysteriously created a bond with the humans by giving to them every skill, from arithmetic to navigation to medicine to prophecy. But he didn't stop there. If he did stop there, nobody would judge his generosity. His greatest gift to mankind was fire. He went up to mount Olympus, Kingdom of Gods, stole a glowing ember from the sacred earth and hid it in a hollow torch. He carried it down to earth, pass it on to mankind, and told them never to walk in darkness again. From then on, men were never cold and no beast dared to attack them, for they feared the light of the fire. Now that men learned to burn pretty much everything, they've stopped looking at the ground, the dirt, and start looking at the smoke crawling upward the heavens, to the

Very, Very Clever Virus

Hawrozon Laboratories, famous for their secret and dismal experiments, have announced the discovery of a new kind of virus that will help humanity to accomplish Space Immigration by the end of 2011. Apparently, the virus will cause more than a billion deaths as an elimination process. Humuncli, as they named the virus, is caused by a tiny ameboid organism called 'plasmodium', which is transmitted via the Anopheles Mosquitoes. The plasmodium, is a particularly clever parasite which invades into the human body, changing forms while developing itself, infecting the blood and the liver and at the end, transforming into something else, which can infect the mosquitoes which they're bitting the infected human!... The Humuncli parasite, manages to destroy the human immune system with the following incredible way: It knows that our immune system detects the hostile microorganisms by determining the protein they produce, thus it constantly transforms its proteins. In this way, it
