AYBABTU Posted by Picasa

All your base are belong to us

If you've been surfing the net any time since 2001 you've seen the phrase "All your base are belong to us". A Google search for it will get you 211,000 hits, even "AYBABTU" will get you 12,700. The famous "engrish" mistranslation came from a European release of Zero Wing for Sega. From there it memed itself into internet ubiquity and an oft used battle cry in many multi-player video games. Wikipedia has the lowdown and Planet Tribes has the classic flash animation.
