Quote number alpha: English - French - German - English - Russian - English - Korean - English:

> [@](#):
>
> The ring and it ring large it passes inside order and which it is necessary, it peels it and it discovers to respect, is. In the ring normality to it all and it brought the bind inside darkness to respect, them.

Probably still recognizable… It didn’t really seem to change much until the Korean step.

Quote beta, same sequence:

> [@](#):
>
> Completely one center be their otsutsviye inside peace. It will be unfortunate, it will connect them whom it damages theyn the place.

This one mangled much more quickly… By the first time it got back to English, a key word was already changed, and I think that “otsutsviye” is leftover from the Russian.

Quote gamma:

> [@](#):
>
> Me it relates with this and the sense which is poor… It is,

Again, it wasn’t until the Korean step that this one really got mangled. If it helps, the ellipsis was at the end of the original quote.

Oh, and to solve one, too: **Rodd Hill** ’s “How for me this we wanted a conference being have the cleanser of the basin animal food the administration suppose, it is which less is possible for him in you! How for me with the your general administration wax! Your mother was the fish of cucumber of the hamster and your elderberries!” is pretty obviously the Frenchman taunting the knights, in _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_. The elderberries gives it away.

“One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.”?

Before this thread disappears completely, those with quotes that haven’t been answered, mind answering them yourself?

Mine:

1. I came and hated therefore the lot shine of price and shine of the lot of coming and. On the side of my ace which in order to breathe increases the point high in the crane.

[spoiler]I hated her so much… it… it… the… flames… flames, on the side of my face, heaving… breathless… heaving breaths… heaving…

It was fun watching it mangle the punctuation until just those two periods were left.[/spoiler]

1. Feels it turns on box bay gate, is good in (NAME).

Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL.
