I though it would be interesting to do this. Take a saying or phrase, and babelfish it from English, to French, to German, and back to English.

Like this
Quote: "Back to the drawing board."
and then translate.

Result:
Quote: "Again in the design advice"

Quote: "Hey, how are you?"


Into japanese and back, turned into:
Quote: "Just a little, it is vigorous?"


Tried the same with
Quote: "no thanks, i'm full."


That became:
Quote: "Calling you obtain, it is good. I am complete."

Heh..

I AM COMPLETE!

I actually do this alot.

my personal favorite.

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

into Chinese back to English.

"A ring rules them completely, a ring discovers them, a ring brings them completely and fetters them in darkness."

"I admire its purity, a survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality"

I ran that phrase through about 10 languages, and it came out like this.

"The committee you to the otkrynnoy wall strict ring, come from the ring it, the ring is completed partial granitsi the darkness."

"I admire its purity, a survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality"

"Adjust The Contrast" -> "But opposition"

OK that's not a very interesting one.

Let's try something a little more complicated:

Quote: "Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump bump bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin."


this comes out as...

Quote: "Here, Edward bear is and to low it comes now, an impact impact, in the coasts of its head, behind Christopher Robin."


with the application of a little more time and a little less coolness we arrive at:

Quote: "Here, the oven is bottom time, Edward who is in influence of influence comes to the seashore of the head, in rear of Christopher's robin due to grasp."


Quote: "Here, the oven bottom time, Christopher where is expiration of time in power inside the rear of the bird which will cry to the beach of the head comes inside effect of effect, it is a Edward."


Quote: "Here, the oven comes the most inferior time, Krj'stofer that the exit of years in in the feed-in is will shout in the kentroce'tisi of achtergedeelte bird that in the beach of head au sein the result of result, is Edward."


Quote: "The maximum quantity under it inferiority time here, regarding the oven the exit of year of hour and Krj'stofer school lunch clothes of silk brocade sein above the very and the Edward result of result of the seashore of which thing which shouts in the kentroce'tisi of the bird of the achtergedeelte comes in inside."


And that'll do for me... I am now officially 80% less cool than I was 10 minutes ago...

I done "I own you! FLAME WARS" and in Chinese it stands for.
"I has you. Flame war!"
I done "Old mc donald had a farm" Then in dutch it was "Old mc Donald had an agriculture company."

I love this one!!!
I wrote "I love coca-cola. It is great! Even when its cold as ice. I wonder if it tastes better from a farm."And it came back with..."Hello. I love coca-cola. It is large. Even when is cold as ice. I have been aroused curiosity or it better from an agriculture company will take."
