Æsj! Hjernefeil!

Actually, the Norwegian translation is really pants. The translators have
clearly never played Scrabble.

<Desperate attempt to drag subject back OT>

I have a small booklet, entitled A Young Vogon's Garden of Verse (published
by ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha), in which is reproduced the "Oh freddled gruntbuggly"
Vogon poem, as translated into a dozen or so languages, including such
conlangs as Tenctonese, Volapük and ... no, I can't call Cornish a conlang,
although I have seen it referred to as such.

Thought: is 'a small booklet' tautologous?
