What do you mean, "nonsense line"? I'll bet somebody on the Net can
identify both the language and the meaning.
A tougher one is "NOTARY SOJAC," from _Smokey Stover._ I'll bet nobody
figures that one out!
Captain Buffalo: "You see, Tommy ... When a freak laboratory accident
made Mudman what he is today, something happened to his mind as well.
He's not evil, he's sick!"
Tommy Thrush: "Does that mean he can be cured?"
Captain Buffalo: "Well ... probably not."
