[quote author="Consul"]A universal translator would be pretty damn cool, though.
If the speech of any language can be decomposed into a series of functions, it might be possible to translate the inputs of functions from one language to the output functions of another. That's a pretty big if, though.
fsubn(x) => gsubn(x)

That would be one Smooth Operator :grin:
SMOOTH OPERATOR*
"(Cha cha cha cha...)
You're a smooth operator (uh huh)
You're a cool sweet potato (oh, yeah)
Kiss me, baby
Don't make me wait
Hug me, honey
Don't you hesitate
Take my heart and
Don't give it back
(Cha cha cha cha...)
I like it like that
You're a smooth operator (uh huh)
You're a gone alligator (oh, yeah)
Ooh, tell me, baby
Whatcha gonna do
You got me sighing
Wishing for you
But I'm here to tell you
One natural fact
(Cha cha cha cha...)
I like it like that
You've got me yearning
Burning with desire
You set my heart
And soul on fire
You drive me wild
You make me shout
Have mercy, Mr. Percy
Now cut that out
You're a smooth operator (uh huh)
Woo, you're the end of
Butter greater (oh, yeah)
When you kiss me, baby
My toenails curl
And I'm so glad
Just to be your girl
I'd be happy
In a one room shack
(Cha cha cha cha...)
Mmm, I like it like that
I like it like that
(Cha cha cha cha...)
I like it, I like it
I like it..."

EDIT: CJ, you don't have to say it. I know. And I'm OK with it :razz:
