Here's a fun game

Try this web site:

It takes whatever you type in, translates it to five european languages, then back to English, and you can see how messed up the translation gets. Examples:

I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree = Task that never considers therefore the enough poetry like the tree

tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, beauty and the beast = in order to explain old how much the time, the song, that is old how much the Reim, the beauty and the animal

Justin enjoys pie = the present modernity of Justin the vector of Fleischpie

You get the idea.

Hee hee!
Okay...random phrases...
Let's see...the Ralph Wiggum quote "My cat's breath smells like cat food" = "It smells of the breathing of my cat appreciates the food for the cats"
Uh oh..."Kathleen draws a comic called Coolville" = "Could not translate"!
Let's translate some comics...here's today's...
Raine:Therefore soon relative the my telephone and then handhas for distrugg
direction or from other!
Friend:Sorde of the females! therefore to exclude the function from they
infatuationtragen?
Raine:End. I always demand. it is of course I, you in everything you come
to the contact from. I would marry you completely.
Friend:They do not know it! The average names know the uniform of nao!
Raine:Then Aprova1c6a0 I indicate them. I indicate Vanessa.
Friend:TO APPROVE OF... then they are you Carl.

This is the greatest thing EVER!

What's just as fun is to have people try and guess the initial phrase from the one the translator generates. For instance, what do you think inspired this phrase?
(hint: from a Sheryl Crow song)

"Discomusik is not one, this association of the country is equally not. He is The Angels."

"This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is LA!"
All I wanna doooo is have some fun, and I've got a feeling I'm not the only one...
Now there's a song I haven't heard in a while!
Okay, here's one...from everyone's favorite eighties cartoon...kind of obvious, but I thought it was funny how it turned out!
"The planet of the captain, is our hero, contamination of the switch of
the urgency of the surface of the external card more clearly with zero"

Heehee! Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take pollution (something something) down to zero!

It's cool that it still rhymed!

Here's another one from an 80s kid's show:
Of the energy of the ash of the cranium, I have the energy!

The first cartoon show theme I tried to translate was waaaay too obvious...because apparently the name "Scooby Doo" is the same in every language in the world.
He's a universal constant.

Ok...here is my go at this contest, im strange so my choice of cartoon is stranger.
Try and guess it:
Doyle was an asterisk of the university, which everyone thought that it would go far applicable, but it achieved not a thing of the categories, which it took to you white that them were not by its books even interested.

Aimee was not very popular the most intelligent girl at the school, which is not very fresh two kids selected soil from to the school to the galaxy strongly goes.

The displacement address of the million miles by workstation with going to the school in far outside of a workstation, Aimee is in the love Doyle achieved much, over with height of the galaxy to learn here..., (high galaxy, high galaxy, high galaxy, high galaxy.)"

How wrong...an old cartoon I've never heard of!
Maybe we didn't get it here in Canada, or maybe it was on a channel we didn't get in my frozen little town...
