BTW I'm giving you German to English. I know it's boring to translate into English but unfortunately no one would take up Danish. :(

Wow... this text... :?

Jokes aside, I am currently taking a look at the text. It has more marginally used weird verbal constructions in one place than I thought was possible. The translation is going ok despite the text making no sense. I probaly wont get to finishing it tonight (CET) though.
