Google Translate

Posted On
Google Translate is not always correct. If you take a speech, song, etc., and translate it several times in different languages(taking the same writing) and translate it back to English, you get something very different. Here is an example.
This is the original song:

Do you want to build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why

Do you want to buid a snowman
It doesn't have to be a snowman
Do you want to build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the hall?
I think some company is overdue...

I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

Please, I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say have courage
And I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you
Please let me in

We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you want to build a snowman?

Now that I did what was shown above, I get this:

If you want to make a snowman? 
Now let's play 
I've never had more 
I went to 
USA 
we are friends 
now 
Tell me why 

You can be a professional to create a snowman 
No no snow 
If you want to make a snowman? 
If you ride a bike, or the court do? 
I think I was too late ...... 

I started to say, 
Pictures on the wall 
A little lonely 
empty 
timed 
With football, control, countdown, countdown strategy 

I know, 
If you ask me, any time 
other 
I tried to 
I want to help 
Please let us know 

We have more than others 
It's just you and me 
What should we do? 

More of these will be posted soon over on http://translateparadox.blogspot.com/

Want A Pet?

Want a Pet?           Would you like to own a pet? I would want a pet dog or cat because they remind me of good friends. However, they would need to meet certain requirements, such as being hypoallergenic and friendly. I would love this kind of pet.           I used to have a best friend named Joshua about 5 years ago. We lived directly across from each other and played a lot together. We played new games and old every day from right after school to when we had to sleep, and we often ate together. We even sometimes went together to fun places like amusement parks and water parks. He had 4 cats that were really nice, but I was allergic to them. My mom had to give me allergy medicine every time I went over to his house. When I had a mild allergic reaction to them, it was very annoying, especially if I was playing. I would like to have a cat like Joshua’s except it will have to be hypoallergenic. Such a cat will remind me of what a great friend Joshua was.           Another

George Washington

George Washington   When I think about what a person I admire was like, I think of a brave, determined, loyal, hardworking, or important person. One of the people I admire the most was George Washington. He was a great leader, and he was courageous, determined, and loyal. He affects my life in several ways. Washington was a great leader because he led the United States to independence. He controlled a huge army and led them to victory, despite the fact that it was huge. Another reason he was a great leader was that after the war, he governed the   whole   United States as president. He was so excellent that everyone wanted him to serve three terms, even though he only wanted to serve two. Washington was also courageous, determined, and loyal. He wasn’t afraid to go to war. He even tried to fight a country stronger than America! Another reason he had those character traits was that even though at first the U.S. was losing the Revolutionary War, Washington didn’t give
