I found a fun new thing to do online today.
If you go into Google and search for "babelfish", the first search result takes you to a translator. Enter a block of text and translate it from English to another language, and then back again. Funny stuff.
For example, i decided to write this block of text.
'Dear Journal
Today I worked all day in my cousins shop, and they have had a new slush puppie machine installed, so all the children were very happy. I had my wallet stolen by a fish and looked into Medusa's eyes, turning into stone.
Faithfully
Greg Perkins'
Which, translated into German, is:
'Liebes Journal
Heute bearbeitete ich allen Tag in meinen Vettern kaufe, und sie haben eine neue Schlamm puppie Maschine anbringen lassen, also waren alle Kinder sehr glücklich. Ich ließ meine Mappe durch einen Fisch stehlen und in die Medusa's Augen geschauen werden und machte zu Stein.
Zuverlässig

Then translated back to English is:
'Dear journal
today I worked on all day in my cousins buy, and her new mud a puppie machine let attach, therefore all children were very lucky. I let my briefcase steal by a fish and into the Medusa's eyes geschauen to become and made stone.
Reliably

This is gonna keep me laughing for a good while to come.
