quicker to train a monkey?

Proof that trained monkeys translate better than babelfish.

To be fair, the German text there is exactly the same nonsense as the English.

Hee! Oh, good ones! Goofy translations FTW!

Babelfish is endlessly amusing, whatever its faults as an actual translator. I love to play a sort of round-robin game, taking some bit of English and translating through several languages and then back to English. (English-->German-->Spanish-->Chinese-->English, for example) Sometimes what comes out at the end is pure comedy gold.
