Clever People Prompt: Give so let us agree.

One of the lj communities I belong to was created/is maintained by Russian speakers. I translated the profile page using Babelfish, to see the community rules. This is what I found.

Important conditions for the participants:
- laying out strange works, it is necessary to compulsorily indicate the author of photograph (or figure).
- not to lay out anything, except pictures on the assigned theme.
- to lay out only the pictures, which you greatly please, but not all contract. The pictures, whose contemplation causes to the supervisor of suffering, will be removed.
- since association is created specially for facing of pictures, it is better to manage WITHOUT the option Of lJ-cut
- anyone who will ask another participant in the association to use the option Of lJ-cut, will deprived of possibility write in the association, as soon as this request will fall on eyes to supervisor. If to you one time it transported, and supervisor flapped your criminal request, this does not mean that to you without fail it will transport following time.
- to me here clever people prompt that for retaining world harmony it is necessary that the photo would be not more than 460*600 of pixels and not heavier than 500 KB. Give so let us agree.


Russian syntax must be really interesting, or this writer must have an idiosyncratic writing style.

Supervisor of Suffering. Now there's a job title!

Babelfish is great fun. One of the punk forums I'm on invented a game called "Engrish Hardcore Lyrics" which you play by putting stereotypical punk and hardcore phrases though a few languages on Babelfish. Hilarious!

You might find its Babelfish that has the idiosyncratic writing style...

I like to retain word harmony in my clever prompts. :-)

They do have an interesting syntax, but Babelfish is maximising the pleasure.

"clever people prompt that for retaining world harmony it is necessary that the photo would be not more than 460*600 of pixels and not heavier than 500 KB"

Clearly, we all need to get working on the project of converting all photos to this size, if this is what will get us to retention of world harmony.

"strange works" - great phrase, better band/song/album name. Hells, I'd read that book on title alone.

"contemplation causes to the supervisor of suffering" - evocative and odd and compelling. and funny.
