    I think that if I was to be given some wish, I'd wish to be perfectly fluent in every language ever concieved by man.

    Money would flow in after that, because of my excellent translation skills. Who needs the Rosetta Stone?

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

    Anyone requiring a long-lasting key to the origins of language, that's who.

    MN-were you as old as the Rosetta, you would be much less useful.

    I share your wish to be the ultimate multilingualist, though.

    No no. See, if I knew them all, I could create multiple copies of all that knowledge. The Rosetta Stone is fairly limited.

    But it would be neat to finally get an accurate translation of those Mayan characters.

    Who knows? Maybe the Egyptians wrote down their mummification formula.
