If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

when you're really bored this is pretty funny. Copy a couple paragraphs of english text. Then run it through babelfish a few times like english -> spanish, spanish->english, english -> portugese, portugese->english, etc. It's gets goofier every time you do it.

Yeah, okay I might have too much time on my hands.

Hi,
I'm originally from Mexico, and I find it kind of hard to Explain to my friends when I am there  that I have a MAME cabinet.
since mame means I sucked.  And most of times it can be interpreted in the obscene (I gave a blow job)

mamar is suck
mame I sucked

I occasionally read http://www.marcianitos.org through Google Translations... lotsa good folks over there... I posted one message there that I translated through Google; I do wonder how it reads to them, though...
