Too exactly translated

sunspots Just heard in the documentary “Secrets of the Universe – The Sun” (recorded today on History Channel) in German (my re-translation):

“At the places where the sun’s magnetic field is most twisted and complex, heat rising from below is enclosed and thus cooled by up to 537 degrees [Celsius]. This creates dark spots on the sun’s surface, the so-called sunspots.”

I don’t think the American original text meant “up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit” really accurately to a single degree.

:bigsmile:

And it’s rounded wrong, because 1000°F = 537,7°C.


PS.: Anyone got a haisplitting smiley?

Anghela 4.1

Fortsetzung: Anghelas Fünfte

Hello my favorite friend bitch fraud!!!

First you send me a single-line mail that I should tell more about myself – so you apparently noticed the small size of my mails, though not their content – and now you send me the same cheat prattle as last time, except that this time you managed to insert my nickname into the text.

As the antispammers report (German), you are now switching from travel-cost grifting to money laundering. And that’s supposed to make you more likeable??

Therefore you will only have?

Anghela 4.0

– The comedy’s fourth part… » Part 1, part 2, part 3

(Again, I’ll try to make this the mockery of a scam in bad German have some sense to you English readers…)

“Hello my favorite friend!!!” So, you forgot my (nick) name again, or you didn’t bother to insert it anywhere – you did that for others, are you too busy with all your other favorite friends? “In the world now so is many it deceit and fraud,” such as travel cost grifters like you, I know. “Since at me all’s also me good is…” but watch out, you’ll soon lose your purse!

“Don’t take it Amiss if I on all your questions not reply,” – but I do! – “since I over sometimes” – sometimes? – “not understand as you want me ask. I am happy to read your letter.” Even though I dropped you? To what extend can you call that “reading”?

“I to want know, what makes you happy?” Since you’re asking: I doubt you really care. “And I will me, that all strive, that I to make was bliss for you.” Hey, stop it, what strange ideas you gettin’ now?? I’m not your father! I’m just 7 years older than you: “Me already 28 years, and me, so over as me not to have, you to tell.” But good to know: “I am the noblesse you not for long.”

“I want to tell you that my heart started to be beaten more often.” Cardiac massage for resuscitation? Whoops, what happened? 8O You already mentioned some heart problems in the 2nd mail. “My trust has shattered my heart.” Sure you understood your doctor correctly? Anyway, despite everything, I wish you get well soon.

Well then, “now, when I you the letter, to make so an effort, you to write as you imagine you can in this moment busy being,” until next time, since you probably won’t stop as long as you still have prepared mails left…

“For the love your friend Anghela!!!!”

:loll:

Intermediate continuation: Anghela 4.1

Yakamoz. Sabei!

yakamoz

Sabei, this yakamoz. What a bahagia. You really get fernweh – and saudade when returning home…

And yawwa to the ifa (and all participants) for these words. Zjom-zjom!

Please do not hot-link this photo, that’s costing me traffic – copy it to your own webspace if you want to use it. (It’s from sxc.hu, by the way.)

Anghela No. 3

– Continued from (1) “Dear (Mr) Anghela” and (2) “Reply from Anghela”

(Again, I’ll try to make this the mockery of a scam in bad German have some sense to you English readers…)

Thank you for “My new letter, personaly for you” – but you took only my nickname from my mail and didn’t notice anything of what I had written. That makes me sad. :( Women who are just talking and talking without ever listening to the few words others say will probably have partnership problems in the long run…

And about letter maintenance, impatient or not – “I will care your letter by the impatience” – you’re a fine one to talk!

But I can reassure you regarding “I am more and bigger began to convince that I got the attachments to you.” The three pictures attached to the mail were okay (reproduced here in small format only):

Yes, Anghela, “of course, I knew that for the love to any place inside go will is)”, especially “who me of something I astonish :-) could dreamed.” That is so “Really, if to think.” So I actually, before receiving your mail, was bored a little – so go ahead, your turn, because you want “to be bored after you!!!!”

My favorite friend! I said such words nobody already for long not.” Except to many others who replied to you, you polygamist. And also regarding “The understanding is it is between the people very important, if they want the relationships to have”, the only thing I can do now is to end our “relationship,” for, as mentioned, you don’t even try to understand a little bit of what I wrote to you.

So I wish you, too, “the good mood on these days” and will, as you’re asking by saying “forget me (Smile not!!!)”, forget you. And I’ll keep remembering Smile anyway.

:loll:

By the way, the German c’t magazin.tv reported in its broadcast from 20 Oct 2007 about such frauds (well, maybe more professional ones) that just want to grift pretended travel costs.
