Looking for info on MB History article...
Someone definitely has too much time on their hands.
I heard from someone last night that some guy has written an illustrated history of MB cars in Klingon!, complete with photos, and that the title translates roughly as " History of Mercedes-Benz Warrior Vehicles." If anyone has seen this let me know, I can translate the Klingon now (maybe I have too much time on MY hands ![]() Tried to google it with no success.

Klingon . . . just wait till Pandoran (Pandorian?) hits the geek-speak.

Cameron hired a linguist to create the language and had one present on set to correct the actors if they misspoke their lines. Some objected to the correction, since they would be the first to ever speak it, so their pronounciation should rule.

I used to do that before I got a real job. I have an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Mich Ann Arbor, and 24 more grad credits from Georgetown. I'm what they used to call ABD = all but (PhD) dissertation. I was programming talking computers and trying to write translation programs with punch cards back in the day.
But only the bosses made the big money, so I went into my other love: cars. And since I spoke French and German, you know who at least one of the car brands would have to be...... ![]() I transferred my GI bill benefits to my son, so I probably won't go to school any more except maybe for fun. Would like to learn MIG and TIG welding well, and to paint cars. But too few schools here for that, plus I still need to work a couple more years. Maybe in 2015.... ![]()
