* 奇妙奇天烈摩訶不思議、奇想天外四捨五入、出前迅速落書き無用 - this is an original answer, written by Jojo as one line - it's part of lyrics for a song from a popular Japanese anime series Doraemon; the translation is only very rough since it's very difficult to transform it properly into English without the song context, and because basically it's only a string of nouns
