Is he a real guy over in Europe who is very strange, or a very clever troll? Any American that can write that kind of Euro-spew is a genius.
Burn hard. Is this a clue?

I really don't know, sometimes I think he's real and other times this might be the best alias of all time. Who's knows. I just wish he would go away because I can't stand him.
It's babelfish + German as far as I can tell.
The syntax/errors that his writing contain are exactly what you find when you use babelfish or freetranslation.com or the google one.
someone call his mom...he gave the number in another thread today..
I considered that, but I'd be embarassed by how bad my German is :(
I mentioned in another thread how once he posted in Tirolean dialect. No translation engine would do that. You'd need to spend time there to do that.
Just imagine how odd most posts on here would look to a non-english speaker if they were all translated through babblefish!
In my experience Babelfish does a much better job going from English -> German than the other direction.
Probably because of German's rigid sentence structure rules and whatnot, whereas English is rather fluid (even compared to French).
I noticed that as well, which makes me think he writes in Hoch Deutsch and then just runs it through Babelfish.Quote:

I swear it's not me - and the real "Burn Hard" didn't know about the existence of this forum until 3 days ago.
He pre-dates my joining of this forum, so that rules me out.
To all those excusing here:
What does make you so sure you're not his daddy?
I can not speak any german. Only xeneixe.
Scarier yet:
I Googled his address that he has posted as his location, and it results in several of the most mind-bogglingly bad websites that are Bernhard Franz selling:
Lord of the Rings items:
http://lambmiddleearth.funtigo.com/?cr=1&rfm=y
Diet stuff mixed in with thoroughly random other items:
http://liwa.funtigo.com/?cr=1&rfm=y
^Who can resist such a statement as : "Do you want to be tight like them or be wide and lonely?" Amazing that hasn't caught on as a marketing slogan worldwide.
Real Estate, though it appears to consist of photos of homes in magazines:
http://bflara.funtigo.com/?cr=1&rfm=y
And according to this page: http://www.op-online.de/pdf/Dietzenbach.pdf There is a Dr. Sylvia Franz at the same address.
If it's an alias, somone's got an ASTOUNDING amount of time on their hands. Okay, so I had too much time on my hands too to actually find this, but I had the flu and sat on the damn sofa all weekend eating soup. And I've never posted as any alias.
How do you know that?Quote:

Crystal Meth, Jesus, and poor english had sex. They would like to announce the birth of their ridiculously creepy child, 0BernhardFranz
I don't know for sure, but the real "Burn Hard" is far too busy mixing chemical substances for his PhD at the Max Planck Institute in Mühlheim a.d.R.Quote:

If he is real, he is SO VERY CRAZY that I would be willing to sponsor a euro-mag trip to meet him.
Can you imagine if someone who speaks german actually met him in person in his mother's basement, interviewed him and took some pictures? How much would you pay to see that?
Maybe they could even take him out for a ski tour, imagine pictures of OBernhard in a fucsia fartbag hucking!
I wish I could meet him when I go to Austria later in the month, but the distances are too far for him to travel. He was up to a meeting, so the torch is officially passed to some other brave mag ready to enter the hall of fame in a blaze of glory.Quote:
