Hey! Try this babel fish translation experiment:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Type something in english. Translate it to japanese (or whatever). Translate the result back to english. Some of the results are very weird...

English (original) - This rice tastes like shit.
English to Japanese translation - この米はたわごとのように味がする。
Japanese back to English - It is like every わ, taste does this United States.

...whoa! how did the U.S. got dragged into this?
