the Morse Code reminded me of the Arthropod language.

It's as the cat said:

Quote:

"In fiction, the most-read book ever is 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Not just because it is a cracking good read for us, but because of all the Vertebrate uberclassics it was the only one that really translated well into Arthropod. And if you can crack the Lobster Market -- if you'll pardon the pun -- a billion years from now, you're really going to flog some copies."

Hence seafood.

Or am I just losing touch with reality (...more than usual...)

Thanks for the explanation.

Hmm, looks different to yours.

Mrs. Next, when I ran yours through the translator I just got "IJ9I". Is that what you wrote? If not, try putting spaces between letters and slashes between words. That seems to be the system that most translation programs use.

Metaphors be with you!

Spaces and "/" is international Morse standard unlesss you are using the none-standard code of Martin and Sue in which case forive me for interupting

OK, I'm fed up with this. I translated them all. Now will you stop it?

if you are reading this, i assume you either googled a morse code translator or you have waaay too much free time.

anyways, we were having fun with this on the thursdaynext ffforum, so i thought i'd bring it to nextian chat and spread the joy.

puck, do you know how difficult it is when the word groups dont make sense? what is even worse is that i then tried to find out if it was a furrin language before i read the second part of your message.

And someone please explain seafood.

sorry about the randomness on the other thread, i was just trying to sow confusion as usual. in case you were wondering, it was actually the first verse of jabberwocky in french.

so glad i found a translator. when i was little my grandpa had a dit-dah-dee-dah machine thingy and we used to play with it, but i still can't translate morse code in my head

i know this sounds strange, but i find if i write it in groups of three letters then new line etc. it is easier to read. i also copy it into a bigger bolder font.

yes I was a bit slow on the uptake...

can't explain Martin..
