Messing Around With Languages

Lisa! Look! Somebody else has been messing around with translating my site into Something Besides English!

Ha, ha!

Now, let's see what happens when you translate it back; we'll use the entry for August 20, 2003, concerning "Freshman Move-In":

Volume La! Categories begin Monday, but today's the day, which the beginners begin to move inside taking at an annual ceremony part, which refers a long line of the ueberladenen cars and the SUVs, which wait, in order at the end of the journey to arrive, at whose point parents are, starting LED and it disturbed, when property of all of their children suddenly disappears, away-production to the dormraeumen. I cannot do, this am instrumented, and I did not ask and did not ensure, which could receive I roped into the activity. But it is rather impressive. Somehow D help to wait class participant at D end of D line to know where all D material to go, and as long as D professor and staff do not remind will go to try to park into ours regularly parks lot -- as if we do not become we its some of this long long line, and it its maintained -- then all well, and if I received to work in point I become its capably to look out my window and see all jen car with D harassed parents, all jen beginner its try hopelessly to look coolly -- very with difficulty, if you cling its in a SUV with her Mamma, your dad, united young brothers and sisters, and way too much material -- and all those friendly helping class participants, who in one extremely one upposition, because of A) of the Seins not beginners are obvious, to B), with including in acts of next love, and C), knowing, where everything is. Later there are to activities for the beginners and activities for parents and mass and whatnot, and then, at approximately 3:00, some the professors to impressive regalia and goes process sets in a serious ceremony, which officially the beginners into the life of the Campus -- which accepts ceremony Matriculation. I never miss this. I do not think that the ceremony means that much to the beginners really their understanding other where is, but to me that represents, if I were parents, which had dropped straight my loved child away at a place, where he or they were, away from the house to live among people which I could not do, at the enormous expenses, me could something is GET-roasted by seeing that the child was now in the hands of the serious looking people, which possess fantastic robes. During engaged in ceremonies like this, I look so, excluded little my hair longer straight and my expression am normally not rather so free. Thus I do this each year, partly, because, to educate around mine regalia me cost effectively it so frequently carry it must as possible, partly because I think that I too, partly am, because the ceremony is an excellent opportunity for Meditation partly, because parents look thus fastened up to then may I help little out. And then, I do not enjoy beginners an end. They have very large jobs before them this term -- they have clean vent, in order to fit the new life away from the house to, have them, to learn how one lets its time, them have from a quantity of things goes, which think her that they learned. Large, large changes. One into it with honour which can be included. Let the plays begin.

Lord, I love this. Too bad I can't actually get paid for translating things back and forth to bad effect.

Here's the original, by the way.
