Looks like it has been through an online translation service I would never of thought of my Conn as a wedding ring before reading it.

Some of that might be web translation problems - but who was "Bob Sousa?"
Looking at his other blog entries (on totally different topics) reveals a theme...

You will have to spoon feed me as I found the prose to weird after trying 2 more of the blogs. A google blog search makes me think Bob is a Spanish speaking photographer.

When I read this twice, I thought I was loosing my mind. Then I read the other posts and found I am not alone in my confusion.

Why this discrimination against the creativity of electronic translation?

Wow. Someone has a very... _interesting_ style of writing. This reads like a Kilgore Trout novel or maybe a Tim Leary trip. 'Walking wedding ring'? Really???

Gave me a good laugh though. Especially the part about 'Bob Sousa'. Thanks for posting, Dave!

This slightly different version turned up yesterday. I still can't figure it out...

Looks like a phishing/spam sites linked to several other such sites. They both seem to be random translated articles.

Wonderful when somebody straightens his thinking! Very professional writing within its sub-genre.
