I ran the ToC of a Russian magazine through Babelfish and got some fun results:


MOTION BY THE ANT (Karl FREDERIC): But weakly to be slain in shakhmatishki with the collective reason?

CROWN OF THE EMPIRE (Nikolai TELLALOV): ... it is heavy as any corona of the reigning person.

DESIGN with THE GHOSTS (Robert Reed): Well who nowadays deals with spiritism? Spectres it is accepted to cause with the aid of the newest technologies.

ESTUARY (Boris RUDENKO): Situation is classical: emergency landing, the absence of connection, seriously wounded comrade. But here is output...


I wondered whether Karl Frederic was actually Carl Frederick, someone I know. I ran some search terms through Google and got inconclusive results. While I was searching, though, I got to reflecting on what a neat guy Carl Frederick is. He's a theoretical astrophysicist who fences epee and plays the bagpipes. He converted the fruit-fly genome to music. (I heard it twice at last year's I-Con. It's fascinating.) He wrote an interactive novel called Dark Zoo. And he's a tremendously nice person.

Just felt like mentioning that.
