George W. Bush “singing” Imagine / Walk on the Wild Side

(via WFMU’s Beware of the Blog)

Babelfish “guess this song” meme.

You go find a song that everybody knows and put the lyrics into the Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). Translate them from English to German, then German to French, and then French to English. Then post here with 3 clues. See who gets the song right first.

No clues for you, the end of the song should be enough.

This is the XPath expression that I had to write to search my database to search for any Step-Siblings. (context set on Entry node.)

//myc:Entry[myc:parents/myc:person/@Id = //myc:Entry[myc:type/@value = 'Relationship'][myc:members/myc:person/@Id = current()/myc:parents/myc:person/@Id][myc:relationships/myc:relationship/@level = 'marriage']/myc:members/myc:person[not(@Id = current()/myc:parents/myc:person/@Id)]/@Id]

My head swims just trying to read that, let alone follow it. To see the rest of the code, check out my stylesheet.

No… McDonald’s isn’t supporting kids having junk food… not at all. What gives you that idea?

If I am ever put on life support due to some mental issue, (such as coma or non-responsiveness) leave me connected. I have always had this horrible feeling that I would be disconnected right before I would have come out of it naturally. (Probably with cool psychic powers too… that would be sweet.)

If I am ever put on life support due to massive internal cascade failure of all of my internal organs, for god’s sake, let me die. I wouldn’t be opposed, however, supposing my health plan covers it, to have my body cryogenically frozen untill the day that science can give me a new robot body. I’ll settle for having my head, or at the very least, my brain, suspended in a life preservation canister with thoughtrodes connecting to an external device, so that I may communicate with the outside world over the next few millenia.
