Okay, first of all, a link to the Babelfish translator can be found here.The game is simple. Poster #1 posts a block of text they would like to see mangled altered, such as this: "To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life..."Then Poster #2 uses Babelfish to translate it into the language of his/her choice, translates it back into English, then posts it here for us to see (indicating what was done to it). For example, when run through Japanese, the result is this: Because "it is, or because as follows is not,: That is question: ' The topping lift and the arrow of a nobler inhuman good fortune it suffers with heart, or or trouble, and tis which takes the arm vis-a-vis the sea by in the opposite direction those finishes thing, how? In order to die,: In order to sleep,; Above this; And we ' consummation finish thing mental agony and thousand natural impacts where the meat is to the successor with the sleep which is said, from the heart which is tis wish'd. In order to die, in order to sleep,; In order to sleep,: In perchance dream: There is ay and friction; Whether perhaps, when we mix this death escaping from the coil separated any dream comes, for with the sleep of death, we must give pause,: Disaster of such long life... there is a point which "is madePoster #2 then posts a snippet they want someone to mess with. The passage can be any reasonable length, but about a paragraph seems to work the best. With that said, the beginning text is this: "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...."Have fun!

While fighting, the rebellious spy the empire ultimate weapon, the star which dies, in the force which is sufficient destroys the whole planet secret plan Hoom it controlled the fact that it hits in the armor space station. By the empire Leia flame one substitute to pursue, the princess her starship other the family...." phwa_sa_lam Under storing, Hoom it will be able to rehabilitated freedom under the custodian of the plan which hits it races
...I don't even know what to make of that. XDDDD
Okay, my text is the lyrics to Kamelot's Ghost Opera:
Walls so white Where your sorrows have a name And day is dark as night There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door Can you hear the crowd is waiting? For a last encore Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Like a crescendo of gratitude This is my song
Like the dead I am on the other side They’re howling in my head There’s no remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear Let the music fill the night And soon it's all we hear Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name Chanting my name
Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Like a crescendo of gratitude
Don't wake me Until it's over I, I may be dreaming And awake
Chanting my name Chanting my name
Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra
Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra

Passage is part of "Wonderful" from the musical Wicked.
Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it - "history."
A man's called a traitor - or liberator A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader? It's all in which label Is able to persist There are precious few at ease With moral ambiguities So we act as though they don't exist
They call me "Wonderful" So I am wonderful In fact - it's so much who I am It's part of my name And with my help, you can be the same At long, long last receive your due Long overdue Elphaba - The most celebrated Are the rehabilitated There'll be such a - whoop-de-doo A celebration throughout Oz That's all to do - with you

I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men with a favourable presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way, against the holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.
^ From John Dalberg-Acton.

"I cannot adopt your gun which we must judge the pope and a king contrary with other men with a favorable assumption that they did not make of injustice. If there is an assumption, it is the other manner, counters the owners of energy and increases like energy increases. The historical responsibility must compensate for the desire of the approved responsibility. Energy folds to damage and a force without restriction damages absolutely. Great men are almost always of bad men."
From "Tale as Old as Time" from Beauty and the Beast Tale as old as time, true as it can be. Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly.
Just a little change, small to say the least, both a little scared, neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast.
Ever just the same, Ever a surprise, Ever as before, Ever just as sure, as the sun will rise.

Eh.. not the best, I suppose.
Formality wasn’t something she really cared about right now, after all. Lord Wolf himself wasn’t using any, but then, who could blame him? Snapping her wings open, Shade leapt up, slowly propelling herself into the sky. Yes, who could, and would, blame Lord Wolf? Evidently, Kit would. Shade laughed, now high enough not to be heard from the ground. There was a freedom up here that she could find nowhere else, and the wind blowing against her cleared her mind. ~ From my most recent post in the Knights of the NTWF roleplay.

It had a freedom above here that it could find more in no part, and the wind that establishes of meeting it cancelled its mind.
And I was bored, so I put it through a lot of languages. All I have to say to this one is... 0______o

And to continue in the sporking of all things Eragon...
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands. . . .

What's really awful is that I think this was an improvement. ;D
The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That, in the course of justice, none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much To mitigate the justice of thy plea; Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.
~William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

ZOMG double post and resuscitate the thread! I just felt it a pity that no one else wanted to mess with mine. English --> Greek --> English Isn't the quality of mercy strain'? [d], This droppeth as fine rain from the sky On the place under: it is two times the bles[to] This blesseth the one that gives and the one that takes: '? Tis most possible in most possible: become do the do monarch better from his crown sceptre present to him the force of time force, the attributes in the awe and the majesty, Where doth you will sit the fear and the fear of kings But the mercy they are above [ayto] vacillation They are in the hearts of kings, It is a attribute in the God the himself And the [geiini] force doth then it presents more likest God'? s When justice of seasons of mercy. Consequently, Jew, However the justice is your own application, examines this, This, at the duration of justice, no one from us Should he sees the salvation: we pray for the mercy And that same prayer doth it teaches us all in order to it gives the action of mercy. I thus have the beam a lot In order to it moderates the justice of your own application Whoever if you follow, this precise court of Venice Should needs you give proposal '? gainst the tradesman there.
New passage is the lyrics to "Son of Man" from Disney's Tarzan.
Oh, the power to be strong And the wisdom to be wise All these things will Come to you in time On this journey that you're making There'll be answers that you'll seek And it's you who'll climb the mountain It's you who'll reach the peak
Son of man, look to the sky Lift your spirit, set it free Some day you'll walk tall with pride Son of man, a man in time you'll be
Though there's no one there to guide you No one to take your hand But with faith and understanding You will journey from boy to man
Son of man, look to the sky Lift your spirit, set it free Some day you'll walk tall with pride Son of man, a man in time you'll be
In learning you will teach And in teaching you will learn You'll find your place beside the Ones you love Oh, and all the things you dreamed of The visions that you saw Well, the time is drawing near now It's yours to claim in all
Son of man, look to the sky Lift your spirit, set it free Some day you'll walk tall with pride Son of man, a man in time you'll be
Son of man, Son of man's a man for all to see

The following are lyrics from Dr. Horrible, in the reply to Dr. Horrible's application:
Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse.
He rides across the nation, The Thoroughbred of Sin. He got the application that you just sent in. It needs evaluation, so let the games begin.
A heinous crime, a show of force, A murder would be nice of course!
Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, He's Bad!
The Evil League of Evil is watching so beware. The grade that you receive will be your last we swear!
So make the Bad Horse gleeful, or he'll make you his mare.
You're saddled up. There's no recourse. It's Hi-Ho Silver!
Signed Bad Horse.

Listen close to everybody's heart And hear that breaking sound. Hopes and dreams are shattering apart And crashing to the ground.
I cannot believe my eyes How the world's filled with filth and lies! But it's plain to see evil inside of me Is on the rise.
^Yeah, not as fun as the last one, I know. But it's really hard to beat the Thoroughbred of Sin in terms of sheer coolness. XD;;

What is our policy? I will say; “It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.” You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory—victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival. We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

We will not celebrate nor we will not fail. We will go on a extremity. We will fight in France, us we will fight in the seas and in the oceans, us we will fight with increasing confidence and increasing force in air, us we will defend our console, what he wants that the cost can be. We will fight in beaches, us we will fight in lands of the landing, us we will fight in the fields and in the streets, us we will fight in mounts; we never will surrender."We will fight in the lands of the landing."
