598595 2007-10-06 23:09:00 Obviously (to me) a fake.

The sequence edits together far too well to come from raw footage someone "happened" to shoot - in more than one room.

Funny maybe, but I think the shots were set up. So the too-good-to-be-true-dialogue was presumably scripted.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms...

598596 2007-10-06 23:15:00 yeah and who doesn't know what a handle is? in the context of cpu socket or anything else?

(and anyway, they're all fools because it's lever, not handle :D)

598597 2007-10-07 02:06:00 The syntax is strange because in Danish/Norwegian (Norsk) they don't have the words in the same sense that we do . . . . so handle to them = lever .

It loses it's meaning when it's translated to English subtitles, that's all .

Many of their words are transliterations and sometimes the same word with a Danish/Norwegian accent . . that's like Mexican/Spanish .

Handle, key, wrench and a few other English words are all "Llave" in Mexican/Spanish . . . . . . not much fun when you ask for a key and get a wrench (spanner - NZ) .

The fun really gets going when you need a jack to change the tire on your car . You might have somebody return with a cat . (Gato) . . . although I have never had a cat successfully lift my car to change a tire .

Try German if you want technically complicated language .
