They know, this one old one with being used of BabelFish, around to a phrase of the program with the translations to execute itself of the connection would fill upon her, of whom they would completely reduce it to something in incomprensibile? I tried to give to the form before short circuit and the pulissero that appears its software of the translation, therefore ordered to the form of the small elasticity is harder. But the fear, the updated restoration does not work with these the place and it always occurs ingualmente of the form automatically!

If you'd like that in English:

You know that old trick with using BabelFish to run a sentence through a couple translations, which would reduce it into something quite incomprehensible? I tried doing that recently, and apparently they've cleaned up their translation software so that it is a bit harder to do. But fear not, the trick still works with this site, and it's done automatically too!

I like much.

That's hilarious! What was that old joke about an early version of computer-generated translation where something was translated into "water goats?" :D

What does pulissero mean?
No clue. All I know is that it is Italian.

What does pulissero mean?
I think every now and then Babel is unable to find any kind of an equivalent for a word from one language to the next. When that happens the word seems to go through untranslated. I guess 'pulissero' is one such word.

It involved hydraulic rams, I presume?

The funniest thing that ever happened to my while plaing with the Babelfish was when it suddenly could not translate Ifrom English to another language.
Maybe Babelifishian/Babelfishish/Babelish (!?) would be a nice conlang for a freethink-government to invent ;)

A well known Jackson five song:

It oscillates to this in expensive outposts of the whole day of the
tree and oscillates and it rolls and it sings the relative song.

See if you can guess which one it is.

Bloody hell! I ran Metallica's Master of Puppets through it, and it came up with this! Sorry about not putting in breaks for choruses etc., they were there in the original but its too confused now for me to find them.

I know they're not Babelfish translations, but here are some of my favourite mis-translations into engrish:
From a brochure of a car rental firm in Tokyo: When passenger of foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet him melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage then tootle him with vigor.
This is a blurb from a chocolate bar wrapper in Japan: Soft and mild, like a Japanese woman. Good flavor and full of juice.
In an advertisement by a Hong Kong dentist: Teeth extracted by the latest Methodists.
Sign in a British school: "IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM, YOU SHOULD SEE THE HEAD."
On a Soviet ship in the Black Sea: "Helpsavering apparata in emergings behold many whistles! Associate the stringing apparata about the bosoms and meet behind. Flee then to the indifferent lifesavering shippen obediencing the instructs of the vessel chef."
In an Acapulco hotel: The manager has personally passed all the water served here.

And here's part of the information display for the Dinosaur exhibit I recently went to see here in Hong Kong:

It is allegro, because he is applicable. It is a hell of a method for
the extremity of the 10 tests of mila of the word.

I type
"I like bananas. I scream for ice cream. I killed an old, drunken hippy last fall."

I get:
"Esteem bananas. Protest after crême congealed. I destroyed old man,
bêbedo hippy the last autumn.

I once stayed in a hotel in Cancun, and in the little room with the safety deposit boxes there was a sign posted on the wall:

"Please allow us to serve you 24 hors a day"

My friend and I agreed that was far too many hors for us, we really only needed 6 or 8.

nevertheless to the first paper of the paper of infuence spangled the free house and the track of the brave man?
