Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 28, 2019

Google Translate fails again

That’s more credible for an unicorn.

I want to video games with unicorn rules next time. As a pro, I’m sure I’d enjoy it.

Marigold: “If you are guaranteed to win, then what’s the point of playing? The outcome is already known.”

I once found a foreign film whose English dub left something to be desired. (The one good joke was purely a sight gag.) And I wondered if it didn’t fall as flat in the original version.

Chess is all about making the right moves, Phoebe, as is life, frequently.

Reminds me of the story about a test of a Russian translation system where it used the common English phrase “Out of sight, out of mind” and translated it to a phrase that actually meant “invisible lunatic”!

So a unicorn death ray is as Patrick would put it “That’s just fancy talk”.

That puts Infernus in another light.

Defeat your enemy with menacing sparkles and elegance. Works every time!!!!

All your base are belong to us

It obviously lost a lot in translation.

“menacing sparkles”
