Here’s a fun toy! Translation Party translates your English sentences to Japanese, then back to English, then back again, until it achieves equilibrium. Naturally, hilarity ensues.

This thing is fucking awesome, Just. I used to do something similar on Babelfish, like just inserting a piece of text and going from Eng to Russ to French to German and back into Eng. The results on this are much better. Gracias. Good grab.

Okay here is a far superior one. A ridiculous Blood Meridian quote: The mother dead these fourteen years did incubate in her own bosom the creature who would carry her off.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

Byron is also nice:
