Anyone out there an exogeologist?
"MER-A ratted Adirondack yestersol while solar groovy, even though it was high tau in Gusev."
Rendered in plain English, the sentence would read:
"Spirit, the first Mars exploration rover, used its rock abrasion tool to grind into a rock nicknamed for an Eastern mountain range one Mars day ago while receiving adequate power from its solar panels, even though there was a large amount of dust suspended in the martian atmosphere above its landing site, named after a 19th century Russian astronomer."
—Andrew Bridges, "Mars mission spawns its own unworldly lingo," The Associated Press, February 22, 2004
The key to the above passage is that a 'sol' is a Martian day, hence 'yestersol' is Martian yesterday.
Now what if I were to maintain:
"nfp shall hoof about dreamland for xtoolable content to make the blog sweet proppable." ?
But, of course, you understand: It is blog-English (xanga dialect)!
