A friend of mine who's a bicycling enthusiast just discovered that someone somewhere is swiping his biking blog posts and posting them on a foreign website where they've been translated from English to whatever native tongue they're in, then restranslated back to English. Why or for what audience no one knows. But the results are interesting, especially the number of times the word "hangdog" turns up.

I especially like that Robert Gibbs is described as the "White hometown gaudy secretary."

And I'm happy for Jana Ireton being named Queen of the Gully Hospital.

It a fun way to kill time ... pick a song lyric, feed it through a translation website from English into whatever language you care to choose, and then translate it all back into English. The words often come back totally jacked up.
