From your knowledge about Politicians’ wood I’m guessing you’ve got “Intern” on your resume?

Ah yes, duct tape, so like The Force: it has a Light side, a Dark side, and it pretty much holds the universe together.

Look, if you want to glue your balls together, then use them to whap politicians, that’s your business – what informed consenting adults get up to is their concern, and nobody else’s – but I suspect that the nice police officers will accuse you of indecent conduct. They get a bit funny about people showing their balls in public, which really is a bit rich because far more obscene things than that go on in various legislative assemblies all over the planet…

Do I understand this correctly? I am being instructed to take two pieces of wood, then glue them (conceivably to make a larger piece of wood), then use that to hit politicians? I’m on board!

I’d say that a site dedicated to funny highlights in bad translation is a lousy place for blatant (or veiled) partisan venom. The ICHC dudes made a different site just for that if you need to get it out of your system. Here, that stuff is just irritating…. I squeeze a Toady pustule in your general direction.

Poor grammar and senselessness points conclusively to W (the first US president to speak Engrish natively).

Obama writes his first furniture assembly manual. In accordance with liberalism, it makes absolutely no sense, is incorrect, and is a FAIL.

I’m thinking that “legislative group” probably evolved from “put together” (i.e. Put together –> mate –> congress –> legislative group)

Legislative group == Assembly. “Put glue on both pieces of wood, then assemble.”

Probably it was not “screw” but something along the lines of “assembly” in the original.

Just what language would generate “legislative group” out of “screw” when plugged into Babelfish?
