An interesting test...

[alexpgp]

This is probably old hat to native Russian speakers, but an interpreter acquaintance sent me the following four words in Russian, and challenged me to figure out what they meant:

косил косой косой косой

I got most of it, but in the end had to consult with Galina.

Unless I completely screwed up, it means

The cross-eyed person was mowing/reaping with a slanted/cockeyed scythe.

As it turns out, I missed the meaning of косой as "cross-eyed" (and used here to describe someone who is crosseyed).

The chances of this sentence, or its content, falling into the category of essential information are nil. As a curiosity, though... it serves a purpose. :^)

Cheers...
