Title: Principia Discordia - Japanese Edition

Well, I'm working on it.

My Japanese friend thinks that it's hard to understand, but it makes sense.

I had to change some things because I wasn't sure how they would translate into Japanese.

Instead of "The magnum opiate of Malaclypse the Younger", it now says "The opiate of Malaclypse".

And the second title now says "How to find goddess"...

Underneath that it says "Badly translated edition".

This is just a rough draft of the first page, and I'll definitely change it.

If anyone else here speaks Japanese at all and is willing to help, then let me know.

I can't speak Japanese, but I think a larger translation project would be great.

Is anyone fluent in any other languages and got time to waste? I'm conversant in Indonesian and am learning Arabic, so we'll see how those go.  Anyone else able to do anything?

Actually, are there even French or Spanish PD's?  I know there's a German one, but beyond that....

Seconded.

If we can't liberate them with bombs, then let's liberate them with books.

I just realized that someone on the Other Board has a Afghan husband.


I wonder if he'd be willing.

It's been going on for more than a month.  He apparently can't make his own platelets, or something.  He's also hyper allergenic and susceptable to infection, so he's pretty much become a bubble boy.

Fuck...that sucks. I'd be hating humanity and the CDC almost immediately.
