My cleverly coded translation algorithm provided the following snippet from your pic:

“...a long time from now in a land far away a formerly great empire will be led by a village idiot....”

Maybe we could plug in the healthcare and financial reform
bills in and see what they say?

Etruscan - Repeated attempts to decipher this language have led little further than the numbers one to six.

I hope the computer is working on this one now. Tons of great history that hasn't been "read" in almost 2,000 years. Emperor Claudius (Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus) was the last known person to be able to read it, and he died in 54 AD!

I think this is exciting. Looking forward to seeing the results. Got to admit, hope it is in ‘southern talk’ of course a lot of folks want to find out what we are sauing most of the time.
