Always add insulin seems to be a pointless rule and dangerous if you aren't monitoring your sugar levels.

Caught red handed! Is there any translator to extract the meaning and/or relevance of
"Always add insulin seems to be a pointless rule and dangerous if you aren't monitoring your sugar levels."?

Tally ho to you too

Ah, see it now, the insulin thing...
The abhorrent and infamous statements are hidden in the details nonetheless.

Well it was a TLA so I can understand why you might have missed it.

I thought acronyms were forms of abbreviating. I understand that TLA= a three letter acronym for 'three letter acronym' itself.

As to Rhizo and Purple Rabbit's most recent conversation... I'm really confused.

I translated it for you from dutch to english

"Akelig aandachtig ingetogen nam hij de tekst tot zich en pijnigde zijn hersens"

reads in english (according to online translation at http://www.vertalen.nu/zinnen/):

"Horrible carefully understated took the text to him and he racked his brain"

Hope this helps.

And 'Horrible' is a person? How odd lol.

That's one surreal line. Odd that you used an online translator when you speak English yourself :S

It's almost mystical enough to start off some silly sect.

It gives much better results. I'll ask Rhizo if he'll have a go at making sense out of the bible with online translation tools.

Do you use that translator much? Blimely, if it gives much better results then I cannot imagine how confusing it would be if you tried translating it yourself.
