Galactic Pot-Healer: The Game

[Dimitrios Souflis]

Any of you who have read "Galactic Pot-Healer", you must remember
The Game, with which Joe Fernwright and his fellows used to amuse
themselves (before he left Earth). Using translating computers, they
translated phrases or book titles back and forth until they became
unintelligible. The phrases were then put up as charades to others.

Being a PKD fan, I put up a site where you can experience
The Game in real life! I make use of the Systran on-line demo of
automatic translation, with kind permission of Systransoft
(www.systransoft.com). Some of my early experiments and their
results are presented, and I log the traffic so that, any funny or
inspiring translations that will come up will be put up in the page,
too.

The page is at: www.altera.gr/dsouflis/thegame/

Have fun!
