"My hed iz pastede on yay"?
Translations in various languages and dialects.There's a link to its origins (re: Crystal Gamgee w[i][/i]ank), but Journalfen isn't working at the moment, but it should be up soon and be
here. If not, you can have
this instead. In certain circles, the joke will never quite die. The word "pasted" has never been the same for me since.

A pink curved heart means 'love' and a detailed, bloody human heart means 'slaughter/murder'.
Er, no, if you want to know. A heart, in heraldric symbolism, means charity and sincerity. Besides, a pink curved heart may mean love, but what kind of love? Sisterly? Platonic? Friendship? Parental? What about a red, green, purple, blue, turquoise or orange heart?
I seriously think it is possible to create a universal symbol language which even aliens, with their crop-circles could understand.
Like I said, who's willing to dedicate him/herself to the creation of this language? And how many consumers are willing to learn it? Besides, it will never quite, IMO, be eloquent enough to convey the finer nuances (diction, synonyms, etc.) of the kind of written languages are are more familiar with. So yes, give me those "stiff", "two-dimensional" dialogue trees in place of symbols that can only communicate the most rudimentary of intentions any time.
