    This site takes a phrase of up to 250 characters and continuously translates it back and forth between different languages. The results can be really strange and sometimes pretty hilarious.

    The best I've gotten so far is entering

    which translated, after multiple iterations, to

    It shows you each translation so you can see where it goes haywire, but I still don't quite get where this one went wrong. (An earlier test of the same phrase yielded "Travel This"... not sure which is worse.)

    Check it out and post your funniest results.

    "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,
