Reason # 32985 why I hate google translator.

I get this message from a bookseller in Germany today and I'm supposed to figure out what they mean.

Habe gerade, Mi.9 Uhr, die CD beim Postamt Recklinghausen eingeworfen. Viel Spaß Micha

Google translates it to...

I just Mi.9 clock, smashed the CD at a post office Recklinghausen. Enjoy Micah

Wtf?

I got:

have something, 9 hour, the cd was post office recklinghausen. Much fun, Micha

That's what I can remember from taking German in high school...

eingeworfen = thrown in, not smashed.

My best friend speaks fluent German. I can ask her for you. :)

If you're talking about Eryn I totally ran into her last night!

[amy_kathleen]

Suzi actually. She lives in Minnesota now. :)
Here you go...

Translation:
I have (it) right now..I dropped off the CD at the Recklingshausen post office at 9am. Viel Spass (which is how you spell the german word with out the funny B symbol) means "have fun!". "Micha" is the person's name :)
