... OK, yeah I was having fun with the babeling fish.

Long ago (circa 1997) I had a website called "Donn Responds" which had a "post" called "Teenie Weenie Beanie Barbies".

Sadly, or fortunately, it can only found on the "Way Back Machine" now.

I then "translated" it to Portuguese using babelfish.

I got much more response from people in Brazil complaining about the gibberish on my post than I ever got from the original.

"Cie la vie"

Universal translation is still not up to the task. But it can be useful.

Donn Responds!

BTW phenomshel, I hope you are having a great day! Anything less is unacceptable!
