I was playing around looking for this BtVS vid a german radio station put together, and I ran this one page (http://www.slayerhelp.com/news/viewalone.php?newsid=328) through atlavista's babelfish translator. It's analysis of NLM.

I thought this was so funny. It's the translation of a quote from the basement conversation.

"Have you more ever really asked yourself why you can't DO it? Off ME? After everything I've done ton you, ton people around you. It's emergency love. Incoming goods both know that."


^O^

::deep, spikey accent::

Oh no, Buffy! Emergency love, that incoming goods shalt never survive!!!

::snickering loudly::

Stupid translation sites are so fun, cause they're so wrong with what they come up with.

And this is great too:

"You need the pain incoming goods cause you. You need the hate. You need it tons of DO your job, ton the more slayer."

YES! Because god KNOWS, nobody hates import tax like the Slayer! All those expensive leather boots, and tarrifs drive the prices up!

And none of that's the best part. The best part is what the First Evil translates to:

ROOFRIDGE EVIL.

::could die laughing from the mental image. The uber-ugly vamp-master crouched on the roof of Buffy's house, banging on the window with sticks, to scare Dawn and make her scream::


Edited to add--
It took much investigation and rereading to realize that "fishing rod" was the mucked-translation for Angel. Heehehee.

I found this out when I was approached by a German site, asking to link to my site. Slashing the Fishing Rod.

Ha!

I am still laughing. Can't stop laughing. Okay, the translations are funny, but not nearly as funny as your commentary. "Because god KNOWS, nobody hates import tax like the Slayer!" Hehehehe.

*giggle* This cracked me up even more than the wacky translation. *sigh* Gotta love Babelfish. It's provided quite a bit of humor that way.

I just lost it here. LMAO. Of course, then I had an image of Dawn screaming "Get out get out get out!" and scaring the uber-vamp away. Hee.
