(or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Fill my Hovercraft with Eels)

Try it out!

Many of you might be aware of this site, and many of you might not. Basically, you input some text into it, then it translates the text back and forth from English to Japanese until it reaches the point where doing so will no longer change the text. Basically, think of it like the translation version of the Telephone game.

So, for example, I can input the Gettysburg Address...

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

...and it will eventually output this as a result:

Just seven years ago to free human power on this continent ancestors glitzy new 4:20 is equal to. Now work hard for long time civil war effort will be useful, because a great country. We met on a great battlefield of that war. Residents of the area gave the final resting place of the life of the field dedication. It is altogether fitting and proper we need to do this. However, to understand the feel great! Here does not worship in our tribute. This is a game for more than the loss of lives of poor people to add God students were killed. In the world, here are some I remember. Ever fought here live noble is devoted to unfinished business. Die ago waste workplace awareness does not take from the rest of the dedicated commitment of this Government is going to die a great new free Effin. Was born. People perish by the people from the Earth. Abraham Lincoln 1863 / 11 / 19

Now try reading that in front of your speech class!

Input:

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Output:

Heard the most insanely stupid things just known. It thought of the age was not considered still reasonable rambling, incoherent responses. Now, listen to the idiots who this room. Currently, not God's mercy on your soul.

Input:

And now Bohemund and all the Counts joined Godfrey at the place from which they were to cross to Cibotus[1]], I and there awaited the arrival of Isangeles. But, as they were a countless multitude, they could not stay in one place because of the scarcity of provisions, although they expected the Emperor to come with Isangeles in order that they might undertake the march to Nicaea in company with him. Consequently they split into two parties, the one travelling to Nicaea through Bithynia and Nicomedia, and the other crossing the sea to Cibotus, and arriving at the same place. After approaching Nicaea by these routes they apportioned its towers and the intervening curtains among themselves, as they intended to carry on the assault on the walls by regular succession so that mutual competition should cause the siege to be conducted very vigorously.

Output:

Are all now waiting for Isangeles [1] Godfrey Cibotus Bohemund, Wade's teammate, number and arrival. He can visit the isn t the Nicene Emperor Isangeles 3 less than 10 minutes. The arrival of one or two come out as a result of the same Nicene Theodosius Nicomedia Cibotus. Usually competitive success Nicene distribution channel and the actively intervenes in the events causing the violence near the siege Tower curtain wall.

I nearly collapsed having just tried to speak through a particular part of a module in a book to a student, but he got it in the end. It wasn't that he's unintelligent, just that it's done with an odd form of logic some don't easily get.

Was transmogrified into:

Module will be displayed at the end of the specific part of the students. He is like some bizarre intellectual property rights.

WTF.

And you may ask yourself "How do I work this?". And you may ask yourself "Where is that large automobile?". And you may tell yourself "This is not my beautiful house". And you may tell yourself "This is not my beautiful wife".

See how to do this? "You ask yourself. Where large vehicles "you ask yourself. Can you tell yourself ' is not my beautiful house ". Can you tell yourself ' is not my beautiful wife "

So I decided to translate the last few lines of my latest oneshot... naturally, Hilarity Ensues.

"Master Deidara?"

"Yes, un?"

"My parents. Are... are they here?"

"Both of them are, Sasori." The redhead's eyes widened.

"I'm... not your master anymore?!

"No, we've switched roles now haven't we, un?"

Sasori smiled brightly up at him. "I found my Master," he proclaimed softly. "I can smile now." He confidently took Deidara's hand into his.

"So, un, wanna go see your parents?"

"I... missed them so much..." Sasori admitted.

Deidara laughed. "I'll take that as a yes then. C'mon, un, follow me."

Their angelic wings fluttered like butterflies as they ascended from the clouds and flew off, their happiness never, ever dying.

Became:

"Do you master Deidara? "" Yes, the UN? "" My parents. Where are they? "Both of them Scorpions, see. Red's eyes widened. "My master, not now! "No, we now switch the role of the United Nations. "The Scorpion light smiled at him. He is a gentle, ' I master my ' declare. "I can smile now. "He is confident and Deidara's hands it becomes. ' Is so not going to UN-my parents? ' ' I... and missed a lot of them. See admitted the Scorpions. Deidara laughed. "I take it, then Yes. C'mon, follow me, UN ". Angel butterfly wings, happiness and a full-scale cloud rose was killed.

Holy macaroni, where to start...

Eh, might as well get into something :P

Okay, after wiping out an entire fishing village filled with Zombie Apocalypse-causing alien insects off the face of the earth with a combination of Jedi Batman Spartan Valkyries and good-old-fashion airstrikes, I feel MUCH better.

At equilibrium...
