| I could not stop laughing ... | Mar 27, 2002 |
... I literally had a tummy-ache by the time I was too weak to laugh any more. Tears were streaming down my face! )))
I tried the classic (apocryphal?) \"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak\". I t came back from Portuguese as follows:
\"the alcohol becomes ausgebritten, but the meat is weak person\"
(ausgebritten is a Portuguese word??????).

After two rounds of babelizing a fairly easy sentence; I got the following:
\"Oops. The babel fish is being particularly unreliable right now. Perhaps try again after a cup of coffee?\"
Damn right you\'re unreliable!!
Luckily the human mind is a lot more reliable than that... I guess I can rest assured that I will still have a job for the next ten years!
