Sounds like it could be a bug. The transport isn't changing type when it
is captured, is it?

Maybe I am not fully awake yet, but what is the above language? Or is it
a Frankenstein of more than one language? At first glance, one might
think it is Italian, or possibly Portuguese, but it seems a bit off for
either one of those. Also, I did some testing of text pieces using
Altavista's babelfish (yes, I cheated) and they were confusing the heck
out of the translator, and I tried several different languages to
English, in each case. I even did a quick look at some Interlingua text,
but it does not seem to be, prima facie, that either. Maybe it is from
some other dead or dying contrived international language: Ido, Volpuk,
etc....
Also, your valedictory remark "merci sven burro" was interesting.
"burro"-> "donkey" -> "ass" (?)
"merci" is a French "thanks" (?)
What's the game; is this a big spoof, or am I overlooking something?
Eric
