LOL. Your system, like mine, must not have the proper character set installed so it displays as "?" instead of what it's suppost to look like.

I never understood the fascination with ru. I still don't, its just another hiragana to me

That sig came out of a post that had something to do with a Japanese manual. I honestly can't remember why they found something in it so funny... Anyway, I've been no help, but it's just some inside joke that had to do with a manual.

I think it's the same symbol I once wanted to engrave on a volume knob for an amplifer. That might give you a hint of its meaning already, to give more volume the amp needs more...? (ru

).

Before you learn what it means, you must know that once you know it, there's no turning back. Now that you've been warned, if you still want to know what it means (well and if it's the symbol I think it is), then take the red pill.

(But sorry if I'm off though, not totally sure that's the character you are asking about)

You guys are one of the weirdest bunch of bastards I've ever met in my entire life. I fear the ru and all its ambigous might . . .

I wouldn't bother to look for the original thread, but it started out with someone posted a link to japanese site where a japanese audiophile's review of SA5000 (or AD2000) was on.
When it was put through Babelfish, a word "感じる"(kanji-ru :verb, to feel) was some how translated as "feel the る" (kanji :noun, feel or feeling + "ru").
I believe Jahn was the one who took it out of the context and made up a cult around it...

yup. hiragana. like "a,b,c,d... etc.". usage adopted from lengthy Japanese article about SA5000, etc. -- with mysterious partially/vaguely English, curious and evocative phrases and seemingly passionate exclamations!!!

Yes. Jahn is father of the る. The Legend continues. (...can he walk on water yet? Can he poke a katana out from within a bale of hay and slay a dozen unseen attackers?)

[size=medium]feel the る.[/size]

This was the actual reason, don't you think? is? Those which start by the secure translation of ベーベルフィッシュ, that being the amused. I use in always

Because this is funny enormously, it will try posting the composition where I translate Japanese into English from this time.

Hmmm, somehow I can see this appearing somewhere in my fantasy novel

Jahn could become a chronicalized hero!

LOL, now I think I get it. I'm trying to learn japanese so I don't have to use dumb babelfish translations. Look at the progress I'm making so far... ベーベルフィッシュ = beeberuhuishyu or babelfish

To return to this post I put this sentence to Babelfish.
"俺は実際に元の文章と翻訳後の文章を比較したから知ってるのよ。"
(MY translation: "I know this is the reason because I have actually compared original and translated article.")


And look what I got.
"Because we really compared original composition and the composition after the translating, knowing, it is the る."

I am very scared right now....

Gwahahahaha

You should be - you just revealed the secret first lesson of the る. Comparing the original composition to the composition after is the first step to knowing the る.

Expect a midnight visit from the る-warriors tonight...
