It featured the questions "Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Favorite Question? What would CowboyNeal[2] do?". Someone decided to translate those into Chinese, and various translations into languages such as Danish, Finnish, and Old English followed[3]. I thought I'd try to translate them into Lojban in order to post them to the board after having them corrected. Suggestions and corrections welcome.
