Sander's Reflexions

I’ve not yet been able to record my daughter’s bicycle song. But maybe I’ll have a real video clip soon. I’ve started some preparations. One of the things I needed is an English translation of the lyrics for the world wide release of the song. Luckily, there some great pieces of software available. If it’s done by computer it can’t be wrong... Here is the translation made with Babel Fish Translation:

Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles,
cycle is this way nice.
Your buttocks on the saddle.
Your hands to the wheel.
Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles,
cycle is this way nice.

Of course it would have been much better if I could distribute some real Babel fish with the record. Unfortunately, I’ve not yet been able to catch some real Babel fish. I would really like to have one, since if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. At least in the universe of Douglas Adams.

42!

Any questions?

It’s been some years since I read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. But it is among the best books I’ve ever read. It’s definitely the best science fiction. The absurdities in the story are very humorous reflexions on our daily life. Like most fiction it’s about the facts of life. I wouldn’t call the Somebody Else’s Problem field a fictional field.
When somebody, or something, is surrounded by a SEP field, the human brain perceives it as "somebody else's problem", and therefore will be incapable of paying attention to the object (or even seeing it, or recognizing its existence) unless it is being specifically looked for.
