Hulleye Comes By!

ten reasons why iran rocks. there goes that terror idea.

i can’t wait to watch “walk the line“. as a huge johnny cash fan, i figured i’d mess with google a bit from an inspiration i recieved. we take one of his most popular hits “ring of fire”, the lyrics are below.

Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire…

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our’s meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..

then we translate them from english to french, then french to german, then finally back from german to english and we produce this result.

The love is a brûlante thing,
and it carries out a counting ireryrings by the wild demand,
which I am fallen inside to a ring of the fire…

I am inside to one brûlant ring of the fire please,
which I climbed down downward downward,
and the flames changed over to 1.

And it burns burns burns
the ring of the fire the ring of the fire.
The taste of the love is tender,
if the hearts, when our collection
I is fallen for you likes a child OH,
but the fire is as moved become.

street maradona or madonna?

due to the advent of the internet over the past couple of decades, communication mediums have been introduced into society that nobody ever had. technology has helped move communication to levels never before seen with IM, Email, VoIP etc. but even the telephone, facsimile, telegram, the ballpoint pen, and the invention of papyrus was a step up in communication methods from what people used previously.
