Babeling amusement

*snickering* I'm just having fun today!

I was reading writergirl today and followed her link to OpheliaMarie's page, where she referenced an unusual translation website.

So, always curious, I clicked on the link and ventured over to a page called Lost in Translation. It turns out to be a page using Babelfish translation software to run any text you give it through five different languages and back into English. The result is rather like the childhood party game of "Telephone". *grin*

I typed in: Give me liberty or give me death!

It gave back: Darmi the freedom or darvi I them inoperative women!

The only sentence I've found so far that will return me the exact text I gave it is "My name is Shellpatine." Try it. See what it gives you!

Oh, and in case you missed it earlier: here's the humorous-phobia page I worked on over lunchtime, and today's real entry.
