Tape Infestation NOT SOIL! Way too funny...

[Bi4Be]

OK, has ANYONE gotten a chance to go look at the .to domain registry at to.to (http://to.to) ???

You'll get a red box graphic that says
Aufzug im Bandbefall nicht beschmutzen!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen - Tonga Online

Roughly translated from German, using the http://babelfish.altavista.com translator it means:

Elevator in tape infestation not soil.

With friendly greetings - Tonga Online


What on earth are thos Kingdom of Tonga people smoking?!?!? Oh, lemme guess, it's those cyber hacktivists again...

Yes, Yes, I know. This conversation took place 4 months ago but I have solved this so called conspiracy! :D

I found out that the Tonga Domain registry is actually at www.Tonic.to (http://www.Tonic.to) and not www.to.to!!! (http://www.to.to!!!)

So what does that mean?
It means that four months ago I was a big fool and that now I am a bigger fool for bringing this up again. *sigh*

How did Shaytar get a different translation?
Elementary my dear, I entered the phrase into the translation one word at a time. Shaytar just typed the whole thing in their and then translated.

I solved everything, including my stupidity, except for one question:
Why did Shaytar question my Babelfish translation abilities in the first place? :)
