While we already have Google Translate the above passage and the Mishearing Game, how about a fusion of the two?

First person posts a passage, the second person translates that into another language and back (ex. English -> German -> English) and posts the result, the third person does the same to that, and so on. This will go on for 15 posts, and the last person will post a new passage, continuing the game. For example:

  • Troper 1: According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

  • Troper 2: According to all known laws of flight, there is no way a bee can fly. The wings are too small to lift his fat body off the ground. The bee still flies, of course. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

  • Troper 3: As we all know, according to the laws of flight, there is no way a bee can fly. The wings were too small to lift his fat body off the ground. The bee still has flies. Because bees don't care about what humans think is impossible.

Pretty much the only rule here is to avoid posting overly-long passages (Google Translate has a 3900 character limit).

Anyways, let's begin!

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night, We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are gargoyles!

New prompt:


According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Felt like the opening narration of Bee Movie hasn't been did yet outside of the examples on the very first post.
