I collected some German ones, here's my attempt to translate them: EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide Ebbs TideTideTideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs TideTide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs Tide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs TideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide Ebbs TideTideTideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs TideTide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs Tide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs TideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide Ebbs TideTideTideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs TideTide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs Tide EbbsEbbsEbbsEbbs TideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide Ebbs TideTideTideTideTide EbbsEbbs TideTideTideTide EbbsEbbsEbbs TideTideTide Nah - the following doesn't look good when it's translated. The phrase "Die Zeit verrinnt" means "Time goes by", "Tempus fugit".

It's german, too. http://www.abiteuer.de/temp/truegerischewahrheit.txt The big white letters spell out "Wahrheit", which means "thruth". It is made out of the word "Luege" (sorry, the umlaut ue is not ascii char), which means "lie". benjamin
