For those of you who watch what you eat or drink, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies:

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.

3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.

4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.

6. Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of perogies, cabbage rolls and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Ik nam altijd aan dat het hebben van Engels als een eerst taal gevaarlijke was. Deze openbaring bewijst het.

Grappig genoeg, de Nederlandze bezitter heeft geen probleem met zulk defecten en zij Engels als een tweede taal. Ik verwonder me over waarom de Australiërs in staat zijn de ravages van gehoorde ziekte te ontsnappen, nadat alle, hun taal bijna Engels is.

Yah, and it translates back just about as accurately - "I took always at that the have of English as a first language dangerous was. This revelation proves the." Right. Gotcha.

Actually it took the german to english very well. That was exactly what I said. Thats how germans say it. You don't taste it it tastes you, really weird but they communicate, maybe they were just asking for directions in france and they surrendered. hehehe I can't believe it didn't translate Madchen though. Try Maedchen, it normally has umlauts, I just can't figure out how to type them.


Theo what do you expect it was free.
