When posting the Lost in Translation link yesterday, I was sure there would be some perfect thing to run through it to show off its genius, but drew a blank. Several readers, however, did not miss a beat in recognizing that the famed Zero Wing intro that has already suffered a mangled translation was the perfect choice. Here's the English Zero Wing intro run back and forth through several languages, thanks Ty Pendlebury:

In A.D. 2101 War was beginning.	Begun in 2101 A.D. the war.
Captain: What happen?	Captain: That thing happens?
Mechanic: Someone set up us the bomb!	Mechanic: Somebody installed collapse!

Captain: For great justice!	Captain: For the great justice!

Ayup... Its superficial lower whole number is belongs to us!

Then Levelord updated his .plan with a little mangled language story of his own, so I figured I'd see how the re-translation of his bb-gun instructions would turn out: "IF in the CERTAIN UNIT THEY ARE, IF the VERSION EXERTED PRESSURE ON of t-cRelease of DNO ' NOT this HE THEM SUSTENATIONS, IF NONE connoisseur in the PREVENTIVE computer science of DÉBARASSER of the MEASUREMENT."
