The other day I found an odd message on my home answering machine. Click the link below to listen to it (2 minutes, 28 seconds, 1.6MB).


The Message

See if you can figure out what language it is. (Bonus points if you can translate the whole thing!) Here are the guesses I've heard so far:
  • Eastern European
  • Portuguese
  • Filipino
  • Spanish (definitely not)
  • Italian (definitely not)
  • English (could be!)
Some of the message is definitely English. Here are some excerpts that people have claimed to be able to decipher:
  • "...I hate you and I hate your parents. I hate you..." (at 30 seconds)
  • "...I'm disabled. Do you understand disabled? You were stupid..." (at 1 minute, 8 seconds)
  • "...did you...restaurant? Without asking me..." (at 1 minute, 18 seconds)
  • "...I was stupid. I was stupid to follow you. You...I will crush you..." (at 1 minute, 47 seconds)
  • "...because you care. From the Lord. Because you are a sinner. You are a loser. Loser..." (at 2 minutes, 10 seconds)
