I won't post this as a link, as that would be in violation of the TOS here, but I came upon an hilarious machine-translated online Propecia website which gave the following sage advice on using the drug, which I thought I'd share with you:

"This dose unremarkably mustiness be interpreted regularly for 3 months for the benefits to be obtrusive. Once discussion is stopped-up, any win in tomentum measure bequeath be befuddled.

...

If you misfire a elvis of Propecia and you are exploitation it regularly, proceeds it as shortly as potential. If it is about sentence for your adjacent superman, omission the lost acid and go backbone to you fixture dosing docket."


For Your Adjacent Superman might just be the title of my next concept album - go backbone!!

The classic computer translation story comes out of IBM in the late 60's (yeah, I heard it when it was new).

IBM was attempting to come up with a Russian-English translator.  For one of the tests, the fed it the phrase: "Out of sight, out of mind" and had it translate it into Russian.

They then took the resultant output and fed it back through to translate it from Russian to English. 

The output came back as: "Invisible Idiot."

There are many idiots I wish were invisible!

I always liked the Hydraulic Ram ---> Water Sheep story :).

I also like to buy this Turkish Halvah because one of its ingredients (in English) is Bouncing Heat Water.
