We all know how fun web translators can be.
Lately I've been copying quotes from movies, translating them into other languages via Lycos, then translating THAT back into engrish. I dunno, it just doesn't get old to me. It hasn't yet today anyway.
Consider this favorite exchange from "Pulp Fiction", rendered into french and then back:
Vincent: I have a threshold, Jules, I have a threshold for the abuse which I will take and in this moment I am a racecar, man, and obtained you to me in the red. I am stating right, I am STATING right which it is to kiss dangerous to have a racecar in the red foutu, which is all. I could blow.
Jules: Ah, you ready to blow? Well I am a motherfucker depose, motherfucker. Each time my brain of contact of fingers I am Superfly TNT, I am the guns of Navarone. IN FACT, that kisses it am me making in the back? You motherfucker should be it on the detail of brain. Us foutue commutation, I wash the windows and you gathering to the top of this cranium.

"the way of the man righteous
"the way of the man righteous is attacked on all the sides by the
injustices of the egoist and the tyranny of the bad men. Blessed it is
which, in the name of charity and of the goodwill, the shepherds the

The final scene from
The final scene from "Casablanca" (engrish-german-engrish):
Rick: I legend it, because it is applicable. Within we know we both that you belong with Victor. They are a part of its work, the thing, it hold to go. If this surface leaves the soil and you with it is not,
regret it. Possibly not today. Possibly not tomorrow, but soon and for the remainder of your life.
Ilsa: But which over us?
Rick: We have always Paris. We did not have, we, we lost it, until you came to Casablanca. We got it yesterday evening back.

Roman Polanski, English-Spanish-Engrish:"it olvídese of him, Cat. It is Chinatown."
The greatest film ever made, in English-Japanese-Engrish:"As for Luca Brasi the fish you sleep."

"it polishes the lozione on the relative skin, or still obtains the flexible tube."
