Wasting my time with babel-fish…

haha i came across this the other day (although i bet most of you have done it before :geek: ) and translated some pages from english to french and vice versa - hilarious. If some of you are fluent in another language you’ve got to do it. Here’s what happened when I translated one of the post from English to French and then backward and here’s what I came up with:

the original message from Rev:

Then why are you still antagonizing?

We were just trying to figure out your cryptic thread, and you go off on everyone.

If you think we are sick, twisted, and lame, why are you still posting here?

The only thing I can see, is that this somehow makes you feel bigger somehow.

See a shrink.

Rev

The reretranslated one:

Then why distiller do you oppose?

We were test right to appear out of your hidden wire, and you go to far on each one.

If you think are we sick, twisted, and blade, why distiller you announce here?

The only thing that I can see, is that this in way or other of the marks you feel larger in way or other.

See the contracting.

"The Babel Fish is probably the oddest thing in the universe. it feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself.

It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centers of the brain that has supplied them.

The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a babel fish into your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language."
