Wow Drag, you'r quite near! I think you use your imaginations, intuitions or in between them instead of doing any analytical labour on that. Wonderful! Predictiting future is hard but reading one's mind is much more harder... and even DANGEROUS. That you just did.

Tomorrow I will be translanting the "script" into a JPG or PNG file. Till than a hint:

Is this the time of year when we knock the dust off the Nostredamum books, and make the proficies come out the way we want??

No there wasnt a man on the grassy knoll, he was in the bell tower, with a rifle that hadnt been sighted in!!

I don't think Jim Garrison fabricated the story.

Spelling is correct I think.

I have been reading a book that contained Nostradamus' pridictions (according to the writer's perspective) that I bought 2 decades ago. What I have experienced by that book is just a feeling of waste of money. Now the Maya pridictions are there with the same dramatisation of the intended future.

But at this sphere of time where we the world's people are standing now is not different than we were at about a hundred years ago. If you follow each of the incidence happened around us you better can predict the future.

You can write your own lines and then check it later. Forget grassy knoll, tower or electric poll :-)

(my FF spell check suggests the latter to be written as Stradivarius ;-) d'oh!

Okey, another spelling needs to be checked is "dificult" where I meant to say, 'diffrent.'

TFD:
Antonio Stradivari (1644 – December 18, 1737) was an Italian luthier, a crafter of stringed instruments such as violins, cellos, guitars, violas, and harps. Stradivari is generally considered the most significant artisan in this field. The Latinized form of his surname, Stradivarius, as well as the colloquial, "Strad", is often used to refer to his instruments.

It seems that the developers of Firefox have taken billgatesian* guessing algorithms in use.

Sometimes you spell correctly but still, become linguistically ironic. Beside all honesty and humbleness you leave some meanings in between the lines that you seldom notice but a visit back to those lines you realise about the ambiguity of the expression. I feel the same for the line below:

Anyway, this is how the world is.

Jeech's selfquoting reminds me of the couple after coming home after a safari in a couple of African countries showing the pictures in their smartphones to their reatives, friends, coworkers and last but not least the followers of their tumblelog. Some of them, couch potatoes as they are, commented on all screens: "How is this creature called?". Then the couplr showed though they made good, high-resolution jpegs took the time to answer: "This is a dangerou". Strangest of all is nobody said: "This is boring". Instead the got a wonderful feedback. An ovation even.

Hi Jeech!

Sorry, but despite my many abilities and accomplishments, I have not (yet) learned to read minds.

However I did live for about 10 years in a fairly closed group of 80% foreign language speakers (the 'lingua franca' was bad English with at least one Hungarian/Mexican/Italian/Xhosa word in every sentence), and developed an 'intuition' for picking out the meaning from apparently meaningless statements.

"I'm angry, when is mangare?" (to an Italian, apparently, English people pronounce 'angry' and 'hungry' the same).

"Universal Soldier" was my translation of "World-wide military rule". Whistle

Or, not.
