a new translation?

[Michael Hanel]

I know this will mark me as a mere youth for even suggesting this (even as a joke), but is there any interest in compiling a LOLCat version of the Bible as a user-add on?

It is mildly amusing, occasionally offensive, but sometimes rather insightful in its interpretation of verses. It's found here. Oh and if you don't know what LOLCats are, please don't even bother going to the link, it will only be a waste of your time. There, you've been warned.

Glad there is some love for it Saunders! I think there is some true insight in the 23rd Psalm

1 Ceiling Cat iz mai sheprd (which is funni if u knowz teh joek about herdin catz LOL.)
He givz me evrithin I need.
2 He letz me sleeps in teh sunni spot
an haz liek nice waterz r ovar thar.
3 He makez mai soul happi
an maeks sure I go teh riet wai for him. Liek thru teh cat flap insted of out teh opin windo LOL.
4 I iz in teh valli of dogz, fearin no pooch,
bcz Ceiling Cat iz besied me rubbin' mah ears, an it maek me so kumfy.
5 He letz me sit at teh taebl evn when peepl who duzint liek me iz watchn.
He givz me a flea baff an so much gooshy fud it runz out of mai bowl LOL.
6 Niec things an luck wil chase me evrydai
an I wil liv in teh Ceiling Cats houz forevr.


now i'm not saying they got everything right in that translation, but it's at least close to something like The Message isn't it?

The potential for this translation is staggering. I'm seriously glassy-and-pie-eyed right now. My heart needs to retardo-thumpification and my imagination reentero-realitido.

Actually, I don't see any material difference between LOLCat and the ESV, NIV, NAU, et cetera.

John 1:1ff. is... is... is....

In teh beginz is teh mew, and teh mew sez "Oh hai Ceiling Cat" and teh mew iz teh Ceiling Cat

That's contextualizing gone barking mad. (Or... yowling mad.)

[SCSaunders]

I just ordered a leather bound red-letter edition.

I'm going read the verses that coincide with power point slides pulled from The Brick Testament

FWIW, I'll be laughing the rest of the night every time I think of this beauty ...

Don't forget the KLV Klingon Language Version It's a Klingon translation from the World English Bible.
A more authoritative version is in the works at: Klingon Bible Translation Project
So far it looks like only the gospel of mark is translated from the Greek.
