“At any point on your ham,
Always your eggs despises.
It is not pleasing to my dear, O butler.
Forces eggs! Forces ham!”
Dydw i ddim yn eu hoffi, Sam-I-am.
Dwi ddim yn hoffi wyau gwyrdd a ham.

Look, a kitty!
It’s a kitty!
Such a kitty who’s pretty and cute!
It’s a pity …
Since you’re gonna die, the point is moot!
Says “Hang in there”,
Just “Hang in there”,
Yeah, “Hang in there”, I’ve been there, done that!
You don’t win there,
I’m not motivated by a cat!
I thought you could help for a second there …
You cannot, for language has failed!
There’s an error here,
There’s an error there,
Errors everywhere,
Errors have prevailed!
It’s all futile!
Oh so futile!
All is futile, though to smile you try!
Won’t “hang in”,
‘Cause you’ll all be hung out to dry!
Milspeak DOES use metric – just usually a the techie end of things.
Anything touching chemistry deals w/ metric, probably because you can’t find the graduated equipment set up in tablespoons, and fluid ounces are too large to be useful.
That and the HS and Colleges teach chem using metric – too much trouble to retrain.
“The lunar program was also done back when the entire world used imperial units”?
Err, what? Many countries adopted the metric system in the 19th century. Many more in the first half of the 20th. Only a handful of countries still used Imperial units in 1960. (and technically speaking, the US wasn’t one of them, technically the US has never used Imperial measures)
Don’t be too hard on him, @WJS. After all, his very name includes the words “the addled”, so he’s basically admitting that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
So. Goldbug is Pinocchio, I’m guessing. (Daughter, wants to be human, lies?) The house is St. Charlie, perhaps? (???) It is certainly underwater (a la The Terrible Dogfish) and will soon be dead, or so it thinks. There would presumably also be tie-ins to one of the androids-as-Pinocchio works.
Not sure these speculations are making any sense. Still fun to make them.
GODOT needs to remember a sarcasm tag is needed. Or a font shift. Something.
“Words don’t fail me. They EPIC FAIL me.”
I just said that in another completely unrelated forum; it’s as perfectly appropriate here as it was there. Bleeping synchronicity anyways…

“It’s kinda like Déjà vu… kinda like Déjà vu… “
Hey I’ve figured a sollution for everything (no not an ultimate acid), upload some dictionaries into him, preferably english to latin and stuff.
Quovis loco tuam pernam,
Semper ova tua spernam.
Non mi placent, O Pincerna.
Virent ova! Viret perna!
Google translate says that means:
“At any point on your ham,
Always your eggs despises.

Forces eggs! Forces ham!”
Which looks suspiciously like a bad reverse translation of Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham”.
Te delectat Viridia Ova atque Perna?
Non amo eos, Sam-I-am.
Non amo Viridia Ova atque Perna.
I wonder what GODOT would make of this language?
Ydych chi’n hoffi wyau gwyrdd a ham?
Dydw i ddim yn eu hoffi, Sam-I-am.

@Code: you REALLY think he doesn’t have those in the memory already? ._.
Military project, remember? It’s a wonder English is in there…
What would really surprise me is if anything that’s not US English (say “centimeter”) is in there

You do know the entire lunar program was done in imperial units, right?
The lunar program was also done back when the entire world used imperial units.
The problem w/ one of the mars landers was somebody confused Meters and Yards – a strike against the imperial system in my eyes.
I did however specify that the CHEMISTRY was metric.
I’ve worked nuclear power and steam power plants. Solid chemicals are mxed in grams per liter for waterchem purposes.
Bah, Robert! That was no strike against Imperial. It was a strike against competing standards!

Tip? You do know you’re flashing a poster at a wall, right? GODOT’s camera is a little further to the side
he shoulda used the gerbil one.
GODOT needs to go HAL – after all – Dave and Helen both said the words they needed did not exist in any language – so they made their own.
THEN she can finish the U.N.I.T.Y acronym.
Eddurd, marry me pleeeeeez? I go round singing your filx.
Sorry, my wife says I can’t.
“Dr. Collodi?” My, this “Old War” does go back a bit.
“Subject responds well to opportunities for sarcasm. A sufficiently gormless therapist may bring about complete recovery.”
Collodi. Yup. There’s some serious Plot going on here.

Fun indeed! n_n
Violet Bee = Blue Fairy? o_O
Needs more gerbil.
