Es ist definitiv nicht Stonkers

three which definitely doesn't have the "it's definitely not Stonkers"
gag. Maybe somebody should set this right?
It's definitely <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonkers>, in case
you're wondering.

Maybe, 'Es ist sicher nicht Stonkers', or 'Es ist sicherlich nicht
Stonkers' and/oder 'Es ist bestimmt nicht Stonkers'.

I myself don't know German, but according to the Babelfish "it's
definitely not Stonkers" is definitely "es ist definitiv nicht
Stonkers" in German. Of course, there's always the AYB factor -- I
remember using machine translation to translate sundry Christmas songs
to various languages and back, and "don we now our gay apparel" came
back as "we now put on our homosexual clothing"! :-)

Can anyone remember where this gag came from? It just always seems to
have been there...like Stone Henge. A quick search of CSS on Google
shows this as the first mention: http://tinyurl.com/2erv26 but it
doesn't tell us how became a catchphrase.

If that's the first occurrence I imagine the only way to trace the adoption
as a catchphrase is to follow it from that point to the present.
:)
I think it is a genuine pure css injoke, originating in the group.
The first "not stonkers" I could find was october 2001, the "it's definitely
not stonkers" might've sprung up from those threads.
Thought the joke was older than that.

That's defi^W^W That isn't the first mention -- I've seen earlier.
Although a rumour that one of the megaliths at Stonehenge has been
found to bear a runic inscription which translates as "Nil Stonkeras
definitus est" are almost certainly bol^W not true[1].
[1] Which probably means that they'll feature in the next Dan Brown
book as "scrupulously-researched fact". :)

It is so much variated composed written, so that even I, need moments
to fetch back all memories I brought/wrote into...
However, I don't know the 'It's definetely not Stonkers' gag. I just
wrote some technical explanation to other possible variations of the
'Sentence'.
Although, I would never translate for Wikipaedil.
Soooo, Mandic made his first Wikipedia blog (spelled hard-G, like a
Kay).
I didn't know it's so easy :-)

You think having a hard copy might make it more easily decoded?
Or are you going to ponder it in bed in the hope of finding some meaning?

Most people use a, erm, "top shelf" magazine, you know :)

What, "Electronics Today", "Military Machines", "Practical
Woodworking"? I think you must go to different shops than I do!

Think he was thinking more along the lines of "guns and ammo" and
"survivalist".

Crash was always on the top shelf in my local newsagent. It shows how
times have changed.... when I went in the other day, it was Time and
National Geographic.

Hi Lister!
No, I aren't.
It's all singular, believe me :-)
Although, I am Third, but never right on the second.

Hello everybody,
As I've found out there are a lot of machines translation in the real-
time, but not all of the good ones
support Chinese. I hope that in this group I would be able to receive
suitable information about what I am interested in.
