Hilarious little program, although it can be slow at times! It's always funny to read the 'in between' between the beginning and ending.

I'll demostrate with some Wilburys lyrics...

Original English Text:
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on

Translated to French:
Tout le monde a obligé quelqu'un à se pencher en fonction a mis
votre corps à côté du mien, et rêve en fonction

Translated back to English:
Everyone obliged somebody to lean in function put your body beside the
mien, and dreams in function

Translated to German:
Jeder verband jemand, sich in der Funktion zu lehnen setzte Ihren
Körper neben mien und Träume in der Funktion

Translated back to English:
Everyone connected someone, in the function to lean set your body
apart from mien and dreams in the function

Translated to Italian:
Tutto ha collegato qualcuno, nella funzione a magra regoli il vostro
corpo oltre a mien e sogni nella funzione

Translated back to English:
All it has connected someone, in the lean function to rules your body
beyond to mien and dreams in the function

Translated to Portuguese:
Tudo conectou alguém, na função magra às réguas seu corpo além
mien e sonhos na função

Translated back to English:
Everything connected somebody, in the lean function to the rulers its
body beyond mien and dreams in the function

Translated to Spanish:
Todo conectó a alguien, en la función magra a las reglas su cuerpo
más allá mien y los sueños en la función

Translated back to English:
Everything connected to somebody, in the thin function to the rules
their body further on mien and the dreams in the function

All I see is a sideways picture saying "IMPAWARDS.COM"

I'll edit the thread title.

It's funny putting a bunch of obscenities in. I'll get in trouble if I post it, though.

Why is that funny?

Because it sometimes comes out like "intercourse excretement kisses of the kiss fat quality" or something to that effect.

I thought this was about that movie too.

Which btw is the most overrated movie of all time!

Nothing against Sofia Coppola, I love her and I want to marry her but this movie is a husky attempt to reproduce Casablanca but it's merely about nothing's happening.
