You've got to be kidding: after five weeks of exquisite torture at MM I hardly hold my eyes open . I wouldn't notice a full-size elephant painted in pink.

Those online translators are hilarious, I sometime use them for a few express laughs.

Besides, the original text is so freaky and full of rarely used words (I express myself in a way many native Serbian-speakers find hard to understand ) that the non-human translator doesn't have a chance.

Well, I tried a different one and the translation is getting better. Even in Dutch.

Here comes the end of a few exclusive shots from the game (note the sign-screen), and more about "Luu" when I'm finished with it. I Batalio (the place) and work, and his wife, children and grandmothers. Odo to play.

Odo is still a bit of a problem though. Maybe you or diego can shed some light on it? (Or SweetD is she's still around, I haven't seen her in ages.) Personally, I like "odo yes yourself game" much better than the non-descript "odo to play".

PS: I'll venture a more or less educated guess. Does it mean something like "back to playing" ?

'Odo' is short for 'odoh' (which is a first person aorist - a kind of past tense which translates as present - of 'to go'), so "Odo da se igram" means "I go to play (the game)".

Here is the real translation Fien.
"At the end here are a couple of exclusive photos from the game (pay attention to the closing credits), more about the "Lu" after I'm done with him. I got rid of my job, my wife, my kids and my poor old mother. Back to playing now"
I'm glad to be of help

Also I'm glad to see you're back Fien. Name:  aplauz.gif

Aha! Thanks, SweetD, everything is crystal clear now. When you want to get to the bottom of things, you need another woman to help you out.

Also while we're talking about mice and elephants be sure to watch the movie Elephant, which has nothing to do with elephants , but it's still great
And absolutely read the novel Of Mice and Men, I read it in english, not my native language (bosnian), and it was great. Also watch the movie made from that Novel
