Quote from: The Decemberists - Bagman's Gambit
On the lam from the law
On the steps of the capitol
You shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock
And I saw momentarily
They flashed a photograph, it couldn't be you

Quote from: Translator
10 can be determined. But most attention is a good idea to break reeani secret.

Someone should try to guess what famous quote got mangled into this:

Quote
Nothing in the future, if you're lucky, you're not in the future.

You'll never get what got turned into this one either:
Quote
Luomulusi death and disease killing thousands!
(Closest variant not to get foiled by extraneous characters)
I'll even give a hint, it's a from a recent reboot of a famous sci-fi franchise.

And, oddly enough, is a viewpoint I consider true. I guess it read my mind.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I'm combining this with the Video Game Name Generator, gen a name, then 10x random languages with both Big & Google

Quote
1. "Morbid Tricycle Romance"

2. "Romance of the three-vehicle injury"


1. "The Quest for the Submarine Wasteland"

2. "Access to marine life"


1. "Kabuki Karaoke Dash"

2. "Police Kabuki Carat well?"


1. "Wandering Death from Outer Space"

2. "Had the opportunity of the deceased"


1. "Unstoppable Cookie Oppression"

2. "A cookie is an unstoppable force."


1. "High-Speed Walrus - The Lost Levels"

2. Welcome to damage the seal level"


1. "Remote Worm Horror"

2. "dead insects."



1. "Frisky Grizzly Bear Insanity"

2. "Crazy fly Grizzli Furisuki"

That last one I can see as the name of an Anime Series.

Hmmm "Viking planet Massacre" => ""Pirates of the Caribbean is a mess."
