Fits of madness

[dreamer_easy]

Friend crack_news. There's not enough pain in your life.

There are Esperanto editions of two Chick tracts: La Eta Fantomo (The Tiny Ghost) and Jen Via Tuta Vivo (Behold Your Whole Life, ie "This Is Your Life!"). Esperanto being what it is, I can read them without difficulty after about three and a half lessons. Try it for yourself: Jesuo diris, "Mi estas la vojo kaj la vero kaj la vivo." (This is all your fault, ashamel.) Why do the kids pray by prostrating themselves and covering their faces? They look as though they're ducking and covering.

ETA: Jon asked if there were any in Klingon. Not yet.

They've even got a tract in Mongolian, which is the only script that is written vertically from left to right. Besides Tolkien's Sarati script.

Wait - you mean *sideways*?

what do I mean... I mean it's written from the top to the bottom of the page in a vertical line. But unlike Japanese and Chinese, which can be written top to bottom and right to left, Mongolian is written top to bottom and left to right.

well, I think it's interesting.
