He uses an online translator. If you tried one e.g. babelfish, you will soon see the sort of rubbish they come out with. Mandy is obviously a very knowledgeable fan of prog and other music.

Very uneven guy, IMO. Some of his polls are quite good, but also some of them is just WTF?? His posts are sometimes funny though.

at the risk once again of spoiling someone's joke............the root of the mandrake plant is usually bifurcated & (to some) resembled a homunculus.......it was said that the dying scream of the mandrake root, when pulled out of the ground, made men mad.......... |

Great work CRIMSON THING! The root's shape is said to resemble the form of a man. It is said to have emetic and narcotic properties [hopefully more of the latter than the former]...........AND I just go under mrgd!

Mandrakeroot seems to be a nice guy; a little bit mad.
(I also use sometimes an online translator but it sucks.)

Mandrakeroot is cool - a legend. I admire his/her determination to be understood and his/her large contribution to the Archives - keep up the great work Mandy!!

I vote yes. Hi MANDRAKEROOT, I love your bizarre polls, but mainly I love your entusiasim - it's quite infectuous.
