Lost in Translation
Anthony is a big fan of Star Trek and bought the entire series of "Star Trek: Voyager" on DVDs. While hanging out one time, I was perusing the set and started reading the summary on the back of one of the seasons. I am about to give you what is actually printed on the back of these verbatim.
It should be said that he bought Chinese copies re-translated into English. On a completely unrelated note, did you know that the Bible has been translated and edited more than any other book in history?
