I wish someone who really knows how to translate French would do the work on these. The translations are pretty odd. For example, the word volatile in the first item is obviously supposed to be bird. The picture in the text is one of Amenhotep IV. Obviously, there is a big gap in the ability of Microsoft translator to produce accurate results.

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler

Who would suspect that Microsoft would ever put out a product that wasn't actually ready for use? That would NEVER happen!
