(inspired by an AIM chatroom)

It is quite simple, but equally mindless and probably fairly boring once the shock (?)of it goes away.

The task?

Translate the Bible (KJV or whatever version you like) into l337 5p34k.

"ph0r6!v3 7h3/\/\, ph47h3r, 7h3y k/\/0W /\/07 \/\/h47 7h3y D0"

[lieu]

Woah, that Rosetta's extremely stoned.

[Dirty Earthworm]

Ouch ... that hurt to even look at.

-Dirty

[happyheathen]

The scary part is:

They let iampunha drive a car!!!

[Flutterby]

OMG.. I can actually read that! It took a little for me to figure what it was (working backwards) bit I know what it is!

SPOILER:

Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do.

[iampunha]

Obsidian, it was with some amount of embarassment that my girlfriend watched as I kept typing various Bible verses (some mock) in that chat. She had never seen 1337 before. Wanted to know where I'd learned it.

Okay, who's up for Day Two?

[Cardinal]

OK, I get mostly how to read this, but what's the name? I can't figure out how to use the "1" in 1337.

"One-eet"?
"Neat"?
"Leet"?

[Juniper200]

Leet. It's the 1337 |-|4xx0r way of saying "elite."

Aren't MARC records used for library cataloging?

[Lsura]

Yes. And AACR2R is the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, second edition.

[apotheosis]

Heh.

[apotheosis]

Oh...and here's a work in progress, something I started in my spare time a while back.

Sorta defeats the purpose of the OP, though...

[vanilla]

Owwwww! can't read......

[B Williams]

Well, I am surely in the dark about this..Care to translate?

[Flutterby]

Whoa whoa slow down I'm just learning.. I can't decipher the ='s or the ['s it's turning into gobbledegook again!
