And he's usually so shy. It's good to see him bare his soul like this, don't you think?

Hey Cal:

How about a few bars of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor"?

400. EricCartman - 10/1/1999 5:28:17 PM

Yes, the usually recalcitrant PseudoErasmus finally tells all. When he finally figures out a proper unified field theory, he'll post it in Urdu just to fuck with us.

Stop wasting away your lives and check whether you can read any of the above in any of the Cyrillic encodings under the View menu of your browser.

402. EricCartman - 10/1/1999 5:52:31 PM

Pseudo:

I don't have a Cyrillic encoding in my View menu, although the UTF-8 selection turns it into a nice neat row of boxes, punctuated with the occasional ¿ and ª. I cut-and-pasted your posts into Word, and changed the font to a Cyrillic one I have. It looks pretty unpronounceable (despite my dreadful Russian, I can read Cyrillic) and has a lot of odd symbols in the midst of words as well, such as * ^ and º.

PE

I checked with the three fonts I have in Netscape. Didn't work.

404. CalGal - 10/1/1999 6:02:26 PM

Cart,

I was thinking more of "Whale of a Tale"....

Pseudo--I did try that already. I can't get it to work, sorry.

Sample transliteration from first line (from Cyrillic):

*l z*b? kshr(yeh-ree character with umlaut over it)ºsh b*sh a*shmº b*(yeh-ree)b ksh shmsh

Oops. I cast that Mote before I meant to. The rest of the passage is about equal in terms of gibberish. The "yeh-ree" character referred to is that one that looks like a small "b" and a small "i" next to one another. It is pronounced sort of like the "i" in "Shirley", and is found in such words as "vwee" (second person object; i.e., "you").

Listen to a speeded up recording of PseudoErasmus discovering a grammatical error in one of Angel's posts!

411. pellenilsson - 10/1/1999 9:09:40 PM

That one works in IE too.

Damn this is annoying. 412 worked in IE in check dust mode, and worked after I entered it. Then I closed IE and came back, and it no longe works in IE (but does in netscape)

I'm trying to do a website for my classes, and fonts I have and can see on other websites I can't get to appear on my own website. I saw all sorts of fun fonts when people were playing around with them in here, but when I try to use the same ones I can't see them, and what's even more frustrating is that some I can see on my computer at school but not the one at home and vice versa, even when I have them on both computers. I used Bellevue at work, one of the few I have that I could get to show up there, and came home and it showed up as TNR, even though I have Bellevue here.

416. dusty - 10/2/1999 12:18:30 AM

415 works for me in both IE and Netscape. (In IE, it doesn't immediately play the sound for me, because I configured my browser to ask before downlaoding. You mileage may vary)

417. arkymalarky - 10/2/1999 12:27:47 AM

PS One browser is Netscape and one is IE.
