Le Finnegan au Francais
This French blog casually poses the question,
27. Les divinateurs consultés par Saddam Husayn sont capables :
◊ d’expliquer comment Lance Armstrong a gagné 777 tours de France en buvant de l’eau plate
◊ d’expliquer où crèche le tigre helvète
◊ de réciter Finnegan’s Wake de James Joyce à l’envers et en hindi (Vincent d’ ?)
According to Google, that little teaser translates as,
27. The divinateurs consulted by Saddam Husayn are able:
◊ to explain how Lance Armstrong gained 777 turns of France by drinking plain water?
◊ to explain where crib the tiger helvète?
◊ to recite Finnegan's Wake of James Joyce to back and in hindi (Vincent of?)
It's quite possible this computerized translation lacks a little of the Gallic finesse of the original. Allow me to poeticize a la poing, pour le flavour Français:
27. Some crud about Saddam:(The final choice is the correct answer, btw.)
◊ some crap about cycling
◊ tigers explain card games in hell
◊ I do not understand the name of the book I'm smugly making reference to, please Fist out my foolish French eyes in vengance, my superior Brit neighbour from over the water
(Vincent of?)

Awrh, I'm sure you'd have gotten it right in a flash anyhoo Greeper.
Exactly how far can you take this 'Finnegans Fisted' concept?
That's not a rhetorical question.
I don't speak much French so I'll just say: Jislaik, nou praat jy kak!
Uh, michelle?!
And I have no idea Quentin. Until this scourge upon humanity is lifted, perhaps.
Best regards from NY!
