Conlang Journal and being a fish

Hey all...

I've been away from the list for a bit obviously enough... I've had a bit of a
search through some of the messages and done a (manual) search of the
Subjects so I hope I'm not coverying old ground ;) (Is it really manual if
done with eyes and not hands ;) )

Anyway: What's happened to the Conlang Journal?

And also... I am seeking 'I am a fish' translated into as many languages
(preferably natlangs but I'll be nice and say that conlangs can be done too
;)) as I can get. I currently have Modern, (Early for the sake of difference)
Middle and Old English, Dutch, German, Yiddish, Gothic, Old Norse, Swedish,
Danish, Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Gaelic, Uzbek,
Russian, Finnish and Japanese.

If the language is written in a non-Roman script (and you can't send), make a
note of it. If it's a Chinese lang, just send a transliteration. I get more
that way :P

(Rimmer from Red Dwarf is famed for writing 'I am a fish' on one of his exams,
can't remember which. So I want a collection of it in lots of langs,
basically.)
