Sexy bitches = What women want
Guess all women are lesbians at heart.
Just because you aren't drunk now doesn't mean you won't have a hangover tommarow.
The only thing worse then zombies is nanotech zombies that are immune to disintegration.

Cody is a very well spoken person who never says fuck = About Caddy!

Please not in the Face! = David

Don't Taze me Bro = January fraternizar

Whats the name of the song? Explosivo! = The song is called? Raw!

Nob head = First president
(ooh controversial!)

Useless Glob of septic pus = Apple lost in confusion

Carry on my wayward son = My children are happy

Innocence proves nothing = What is a sin
(Little philosophical there)

In the forty first millenium there is only war  = mouse goals in 1941

I will kill you = location
(i think at this point it was calling me out)

and finally
This translator makes my brain hurt = Enter name
(and thats where i stopped, i was getting a little creeped out)

"Bitch, get me a sandwich!" turns into the much more innocuous "hey, my sandwich!"

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts = Rich oil storage.

"Hark, a vagrant!" = "Iran!"

but "Bitch, please!" is the same no matter what.

I'm posting this here because it's thematically related.

My buddy is using Google Translator to "translate" the works of Robert Frost: http://frostintranslation.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/the-pasture/

Basically he posts a poem in the translation box and translates it through each language in alphabetical order.

To see what has changed in the machine translators since last year, I punched in some of the last results from this:

"Enlightenment thinkers encoded racism into their ideological framework." -> "Ankriptyon Thinkers like Russet." (56 translations)

"Itty Bitty Titty Committee" -> "Tips and Tricks." (It also turned into "Executive Board Tricks" at some point)

"Bitch, get me a sandwich!" -> "Snvik แ ฉ ใ jazz!" (though the last comprehensible translation was "Give me a sandwich!" at around 52 translations.  Apparently translating to Thai broke everything).

Apparently Haitian Creole breaks the translator on this one. "Encryption" becomes translated as "Ankriptyon" but never gets translated again.

Putting the Second Amendment through 56 translations yields: "Police considered that the defense is bad, the right to gun Ownership."

And the Third Amendment: "Army life at home in conference."

"Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman. "

becomes

Spider - Spider man - husband, supaidamansaizu bed but Spider - Man in Paris lakes' of all kinds of theft and similar networks.

and

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds

becomes

Starman election, but it is very long, I felt that I had to wait.

"Tell it to the cleaning lady on monday."

...56 translations later we get:

"I think the other networks."
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough.
