If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Actually, I could reply in Scots Gaelic  :lol:   >:D

Not sure it would do any good.  It was some sort of spam email apparently allowed by the @VLC (very large corporation).  I've gotten offers to subscribe to nuclear energy, and dam/power generation journals, for instance.  What that has to do with jet engine software, I dunno ...?

Just seemed sorta Firefly related ... do we need to start learning Chinese already  ???

I hope some of this was code that would trigger a Fruity Oaty bar commercial.

In other news tonight, the entire population of China under the age of 20 went berserk, beating the crap out of anyone they came across.

Hi there,

 

Unfortunately there was an email glitch in our system today and sent out Chinese to all our English survey participants.  I sincerely apologize for this error and hope that you might reconsider participating in our survey, it is legitimate and our links are safe. 

 

Thank you so much for your understanding and I sincerely hope you will reconsider.   

...  [original email in english]

Shall I write back and tell her I only speak Gaelic ...?   >:D   =D
