Ok.

This is serious.
:p

If you need to encode a communication so that no living person could posibly decode it, use this. The attached zip includes the necessary graphics, AutoHotKey script, and the codebreaker (another graphic).

Have Fun!

Download (360kb), unzip to a folder, go for it!

If you're nervous chq the code below.

Nice idea, beautiful graphics... The script can be tweaked a little. Add comments, Esc to exit, HotKey to define the letters, etc.
Title = Hieroglyphics Typer v0.1

From  = bLisTeRinG 2006



htFile = %A_DeskTop%\HeiroType.html       ; The Egyptian text is written in this file

htDir  = C:\t\AutoHotKey\HeiroType\Egypt  ; <-- edit here, location of the pictograms

htNum  = 1

htNumb = 1

Loop 26 {                                 ; Hotkeys to enter letters

   key := Chr(A_Index+64)

   HotKey %key%, Letter

}

Return

Regarding the subject line: if you're old enough you'll remember "Walk like an egyptian" (by the "Bangels") :D. Later someone refined that phrase to: "Walk with an er*ction." ... lalala :lol:

I never knew that 'refined' version... Sounds like something Weird Al Yankovich might do ("Like a Surgeon", "Fat", etc. usw.)

Thanks Lazlo ':D' it needs Esc. I should probably have a warning about how it takes over the keyboard and needs to be Esc aped if they want the computer back.

My daughter didn't know the reference to "walking like an Egyptian" either. So I hauled out the LPs and am glad to say she was suitably impressed '8)'

JBO - WALK WITH AN ER*CTION

Es war im Juli, die Sonne stach und es
hatte 30 Grad,
Ich dachte mir, ooeeoo, da geh'ich ins
nächste Freibad.
Ich geh'zum kiosk und denk mir nix
dabei, kaufe mir ein Eis,
Doch was kommt da, ooeeoo, a 9er Frau
und mir wird ganz heiss.

(Chorus)
Und schon kommt die Badehosenbeule,
Eeooeeooeejeeooeeoo
Walk with an Er*ction.

Schnell dreh ich mich um, damit sie nicht
meine Beule sehen kann,
Doch was macht die Frau, ooeeoo, sie
lacht mich aus und ich lauf rot an.
ich kann nichts tun, schliesslich bin ich doch nur ein ganz normaler Mann.
Die weiss ja net, ooeeoo, wie schwer des is'mit vorn so was dran.

Denn es ist gar nicht leicht mit der Beule,
Eeooeeooeejeeooeeoooo
Walk with an Er*ction.

Jetzt is'mir wurscht und es macht mir nix
mehr aus, dass sie alle schau'n.
Mit so ei'm Rohr, ooeeoo, da klappt das
Er wird nicht kleiner, ich weiss nicht, wie er lang das noch so weiter kommt.
ich geh'zum Fünf-Meter-Brett, da sieht's
jeder, und ich geh'hinauf.
Dochich bleib hängen ooeeoo und es
reisst mir die Badehose auf,

ich steh'im Freien und die Kinder schreien.
Eeooeeooeejeeooeeoooo
Walk with an Er*ction

Looks like you've to sing it with a Bavarian accent :shock:)

I think it must be franconian accent. I think you'll be stoned to death when you're speaking bavarian accent in Franconia. ;) *Just kidding*

LOL :lol: :D :lol:

I tried to sing it!

ps when i was a kid my family lived in east and west for a few months each (not on purpose). I went to school and so on, but now, while german movies sound weirdly normal I can't quite understand. If we'd settled there for a while I'd know more than english.

It was in July, the sun stung and it had 30 degrees,
I imagined, ooeeoo, there geh'ich in the next open-rir swimming pool.
I geh'zum kiosk and think me nix thereby, buy me an ice,
but which comes there, ooeeoo, A 9er woman and me becomes completely hot.

(Chorus) and the trunk dent,
Eeooeeooeejeeooeeoo
already comes mills with at Er*ction.

Fast trick I over, so that it cannot see my dent,
but which makes itself the woman, ooeeoo,
it laughs at me and I cannot do to run red on I anything,
finally am I nevertheless only a completely normal man.
White net, ooeeoo, like with difficulty is'mit in front in such a way which to.

Because it is not at all easily with the dent,
Eeooeeooeejeeooeeoooo
mills with at Er*ction.

Now is'mir wurscht and it constitutes me nix
more that it all schau'n.
With ei'm pipe, ooeeoo, there in such a way folds which he becomes not smaller,
I white not,
as he long still so continues to come I geh'zum five-meter board,
there sieht's everyone, and I geh'hinauf.
Dochich remain hanging ooeeoo and it
tears me the trunk up,

I steh'im free ones and the children cry.
Eeooeeooeejeeooeeoooo
mill with at Er*ction

Well,

no reason for kidding.
It could be the last error you made, if you mix up bavarian with franconian

:lol:

I know cause I'm a real franggä too. :)

So we're at least two "Franggn" in this forum.

btw. anyone interested in Franconia? ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franconia

In 1803, Napoleon incorporated the Bishop of Würzburg's Eastern Franconia into Bavaria, to which it still belongs today. Culturally it is in many ways different from Bavaria proper, however. The ancient name was resurrected in 1837 by Ludwig I, King of Bavaria. While "Old Bavaria" is overwhelmingly Catholic, Franconia is a mixed area. Lower Franconia predominantly Catholic, while Middle and Upper Franconia are predominantly Protestant. The dialect East Franconian German is very different from Austro-Bavarian language. Most Franconians do not accept being called Bavarians.

Some more research:

There is also an American version of "Walk with an Er*ction", by The Swinging Erudites, that stays closer to the Bangles original (not a swimmng pool in sight):

All the old paint on the faces
They do the pole dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're busting out like a domino
At the bazaar men by the score
They got their money on a pet
Gold cards in piles (oh whey oh)
You snap their straps on their backs
All the 'ho'es in their skimpy clothes
Say no way no way no way no way no
Walk with an er*ction
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the boobs (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bend over
At the club men so sick of looks
They like the touch and the little pouch
When the trouser shrinks (oh whey oh)
They're walking with an er*ction
All the 'ho'es in their skimpy clothes
Say no way no way no way no way no
Walk with an er*ction
Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose with a tally whack
If you want to find all the freaks
They're hanging out at the bus stop
They smile and glance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line with an er*ction
All the 'ho'es in their skimpy clothes
Say no way no way no way no way no
Walk with an er*ction
Walk with an er*ction

(found here)

The Not Al Page has something to say about this song and the song by JBO, as mentioned by BoBo:

Walk With an Er*ction
There has always been a certain amount of controversy surrounding this song. I would get loads of emails claiming that WWAE was by The Swinging Erudites, but the evidence just kept pointing to J.B.O. Finally, the German Amazon.de proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that J.B.O. did the song because it had a sound clip of WWAE, which appeared on their Explizite Lyrik album and this clip matched up perfectly with the one that's being shared under Al's name. And so I thought the mystery was solved until Greg Urbaitis, member of The Swinging Erudites emailed me. He argued, of course, that the Swinging E's were the ones who did the song, and I wanted to be well-armed for my rebuttal, so I dug a little deeper into the history of the song until I ran across a web page that stated that the Swinging Erudites were the ones who originally wrote and performed the song, which was then covered by Carson Sage, which was in turn covered (and presumably translated) by J.B.O., making the version appearing on this page a cover of a cover. Case closed. I hope.

So now we have the original by The Bangles, the parody by The Swinging Erudites, and a completely different text by JBO.

I'm either stupid or I just can't figure this out. Haha, probably both. I'm new to these forums and autohotkey, how do I use this script? I have all the things running, so its not something stupid like the script isn't running. :lol:


Help me I'm StOoPiD!

- Use my code, it is shorter.
- Edit in the script the line htDir = ..., to contain the directory, where you stored the pictures downloaded and unpacked from the first post.
- Start typing. You will see nothing, the pictures are written in the html file given in the 3rd line of the script (htFile =...)
- When you are done, press Esc to exit, and revive your keyboard.
- Open the html file in a Browser, like MS Internet Explorer.
- Enjoy your text in Hieroglyphs
