ACHTUNG! Futurama2ACV11 - Die Rhythmus-R�ckerstattung (Divx) German

Stupid dummkopf. This is a discussion newsgroup. The last time someone pulled this stunt many newsservers dropped alt.tv.futurama because stealth binary newsgroups eat too much bandwidth that was meant for the discussion newsgroups.

Translation:

Dummes fdummkopf. Dieses ist ein Diskussion newsgroup. Das letzte Mal zog jemand diese Bremsung viele newsservers fallengelassene alt.tv.futurama, weil bin�re newsgroup zu viel Bandweite aufnehmen, die f�r die Diskussion newsgroup bedeutet wurde. Verwenden Sie alt.binaries.multimedia.futurama! Purpurrote Fallhammersp�lmaschine.

That looks like a typical Babelfish translation... but I wonder where the last two words come from? They're not in the original text. The retranslation (babelfish, again) makes it "magenta-red drop hammer dishwasher"

(who especially likes "zog jemand diese Bremsung")

I see, an ancient Germanic curse that just does not translate well into english. Next time someone calls me a magenta-red drop hammer dishwasher I shall be appropriately offended.

Oh yeah? Next time your drop hammer dishwasher breaks down, good luck finding replacement parts in the proper color! If you end up with a purple drop hammer dishwasher don't say I didn't warn you.

And now an explaination for those who still don't get it? Pretty please?

Raphael, really curious

Here's what Raphael Kirschke told "alt.tv.futurama" on Wed, 28 Feb 2001 10:11:22 +0100 on the subject of "Re: ACHTUNG! Futurama2ACV11 - Die Rhythmus-R?kerstattung (Divx) German":

The "drop hammer dishwasher" most likely refers to this infamous "X Files story":

There's also a reference to a Simpsons episode:

http://www.snpp.com/episodes/2F19.html

Edna: Good news, people! [the other teachers cheer] I'm happy to announce that another union has joined us in a sympathy strike: the piano tuners' Local 412! [the teachers look at one another, confused] [a piano tuner stands outside a house with an out-of-tune piano and looks smug] Bart: [walking up] Now for Operation Strike-Make-Go-Longer. [to teacher] You know, I heard Skinner say the teachers will crack any minute. [the teachers whisper it forward through the line] Teacher: [to Edna] Skinner said the teachers will crack any minute purple monkey dishwasher. Edna: Well! We'll show him, especially for that "purple monkey dishwasher" remark. [everyone shouts their assent]
