Google joke! The English prverb "out of sight, out of mind was translated into Spanish. When the translation was turned back into English as a check it came back as "invisible, insane"

Machine translating has gotten better and better, but it still doesn't compare to a human translator. :)

Buena. Nunca habí escuchado esa.

Another is "ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente (http://www.tomisimo.org/idioms/en/out-of-sight-out-of-mind-202.html)".

Esa es la que yo conocía. :)

Pregunte para el beneficio de los lectores.

Aunque para reirse podemos decir "Ojos que no ven, costalazo seguro" :D

@bobjenkins: "costalazo" is a colloquial way to say "golpe", "caída". If you close your eyes, you can stumble and fall.

You said before that the word costalazo is one words used to colloquial way to say golpe.

I'm not sure with your answer, because I believe that the word golpe is simply golpe to me.


This simply is my own view point about it.
