Just in case that was real language, I put it into Google Translate, with the setting to detect the language. It says it is English and means "Klaatu Barada Nikto." Good to know!

It is said by the alien (or was it the robot) from The Day the Earth Stood Still. I'd have to go back and re-watch it to find out the translation. I never did see the remake.

You guys are waaay ahead of me...or maybe I'm just waaay behind you. I never would have thought that was real language!

JoDeen -- I was guessing it was alien language, but figured Google Translate was a way to check. :)
