This is why caffeine overload is a BAD thing

I've just decided that I want to learn how to say, "I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan," in as many languages as possible.

I am now debating whether to beg for translations, or put this out of my head as quickly as possible. And yes, [livejournal.com profile] rafaela, I can hear you glaring at the back of my head. Shush.

Just learn it in Esperanto, and you're covered! ;)

I bet if I work through the People I Know tree, I could get you that translation in Tolkien's Elves' Sindarin. (I'm on a small mailing list that includes an expert in that subject.)

Which would probably be a strong contender for "geekiest thing EVER."

I can probably translate it into Swahili if you're so inclined.
