Here's the (Babelfish) translated text:


I know that you have a special place in your heart for beemers. You must see my black 1974 2002 crosses. To check NewYorkTimes classified first on August 14, 2002.

looks like some sort of hack.

seems to be talking about a car, BMW possibly (beemer)...but 1974 2002 coupe?? That's confusing.

anyone have access to classifieds of the NYTimes from Aug 14??

Apple has given us a sign, it seems to be about a car. APPLE WILL MAKE A MACINTOSH COMPATIBLE CAR!!!

OK, just kidding, what kind of rumor is this? I would rather hear news about Phill Schiller.:D

yeah, i think that it is talking about "beemers" as in BMW. Black, 1974 led me to this guess. i think beemers is mispelled and crosses is translated wrong. perhaps someone just cut and pasted some text where it didn't belong. i'm sticking with my car theory.

personally I think they had the lawyers that when insane from dealing with the licensing issues put it there.....


edit: after looking at http://uncaptheride.com/ either this is some brilliant ploy by Hi-Res, or some rather deranged hacker.
