Re: Coating Without a Machine
Dave, I heard the story as an attempted experiment in computer translation between English and Russian in the fifties or sixties. The answer given in the version I heard was "The vodka is good but the meat is rotten". I heard this story around 1968. It could have been an urban myth, of course. Tom Sobota Madrid, Spain Dave S wrote: To this I should say "the wine is so inviting, but the meat is rotten." Has anyone heard this expression before? It was from a translation of a translation of "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." :-)
