3. The first verse of "A Day in the Life"
Edited on Fri Jan-01-10 01:40 AM by EastTennesseeDem
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.

=

Today, Google search results and news, iron, Ohio, under many different boy please. Lucky. We have a lot of people. Will. Laugh often sad news, I did not. I saw the photo. He blew his mind in the car. He lights didn 't solved please change. People stood staring at the crowd. I saw them in front of his face. Nobody was sure if he came from the aristocracy.

6. Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
http://www.translationparty.com/#5909107

It is doubtful that this phrase will ever reach equilibrium.

What did you bring me, my dear friends, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

ends up as

She is my next one or two, one or 21,122,111,111 either one or two or three things you only one one is used to store gain of my closest friends mean one single one The one one one one one place, one or two of you one?

8. Dialup won't let me go to the link. However,
this reminds me of the story told by one of my journalism profs, about the trials of new translation software. They were checking for idioms, and sent the phrase "out of sight, out of mind" into Russian. It came back "invisible idiot."

9. Equilibrium is nervana.
You may not believe it, but believe me it's true.

Equilibrium: If you are, believe it or not, I think it's true.
