dragonlady7So you know how you can get those devotional candles at the grocery store, that have pictures of the Virgin or Jesus or Saint Marta The Avenger on the front, and prayers on the back?
Last night after dinner Dave was reading the one that was providing illumination on the table, and noticed that even with his rudimentary Spanish he could tell that the English translation of the prayer wasn't the same.
So, being the enterprising little computergeek he is, he decided to run it through Babelfish (in Sherlock, for those of you with handy little Mac programs) and see what it came up with.
The results were so amusing that he immediately went and ran it through every other Babelfish option he could find, thereby rendering it complete computer gibberish.
