Vogon poetry

[Sandman]

I've been working with nb6 to get notifications working in my app, and reading Erels code samples for the class I noticed that he managed to produce an impressive piece of Vogon Poetry:

At least it rhymes. Oh, wait a minute...

 

[KMatle]

At least it rhymes. Oh, wait a minute...

In Vogon it actually rhymes well...

 

[jgmdavies]

"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!"

I guess Vogons speak some form of Middle English, that reminds me of The Canterbury Tales

Well, there's an old Vogon saying, roughly translated: "there's nothing new under the suns".

 

[Sandman]

there's an old Vogon saying

That reminds me of this memorable quote:

And apparently 93.8% of statistics quoted in casual conversation are just made up on the spot - it's a scandal...
