That translation makes me cringe.

"The hospital said the 13-time Monday that 15-year-old is operated and hospitalized for treatment."

This is what English from the 30th century will sound like.  Does "bad asker" modify "Whale Beach" or "Saturday"? : /

Sympathy for the young woman, however. :(

You gotta hand it to Google translator. Even if the details aren't correct, knowing the gist of a story can be very handy.

"Hvalstrand Bad" translates to "Whale Beach Bath"  :D

Asker is a municipality.

QuotePolice said the accident happened after he found a cartridge from a bolt gun and began hitting it with a stone. The shot went off and the man was hit in the mouth.

If that translation is right, I think the Polish gene pool just improved slightly.

If you just set off a bullet by banging on it, would the bullet shoot out and kill someone if the explosion isn't actually contained in a gun?

I dunno, I would suspect that the cartridge would go flying - the bullet, not so much, as it is heavier.

Just so you know - "cartridge" and "cartridge case" are used interchangably in colloquial English.

Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cartridge_30-06.png

Though if you want to sound like a dumb Swede ...  :P

I doubt it - the cartridge/bullet interface is the weak point. I doubt the casing would actually explode like a grenade.

Linking to another dumb (presumably also jewish) fuck who misuses terms under the guise of folksy ways doesn't strengthen your argument.  :P

Google image search for "cartridge" points us to several pictures of cartridges on the first page, yet none of just casings. The colloquial masses have spoken. :contract:

And now you're using two different terms for the same item in as many sentences. There's just no retreating from this, Malty. Grumblered.  :(

I guess you are not understanding the "and often ..."



Quotea. A cylindrical, usually metal casing containing the primer and charge of ammunition for firearms.
b. Such a casing fitted with a bullet.
c. A similar piece of ammunition, such as a shotgun shell.

Quote: a case or container that holds a substance, device, or material which is difficult, troublesome, or awkward to handle and that usually can be easily changed: as a : a tube (as of metal) containing a complete charge for a firearm and usually an initiating device (as a primer) b : a case containing an explosive charge for blasting c : an often cylindrical container for insertion into a larger mechanism or apparatus

Obviously, the term can mean "whole unit" or can mean "just the case".
