Created to prevent wars and promote peace, it failed to address the most dangerous threats facing the world. In a mire of hypocrisy, bribes, kickbacks, and corruption, the UN enables terrorism, and ignores sex crimes by its peacekeepers. The UN is where our so-called allies undermine us, and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home.

He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'") And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. English-Korean-English: Word and, word with the shoes and, the word new was from first. He new from first was very. All things do to lead him, was not one grudge what kind of thing which is not that. Life and, the life was the light of the man from him.

Him and, the world did to lead him from the world, the world did not know him but. He came to with that oneself, the people of that oneself did not receive him. Believes his name but, receives him and all, he is not the blood, but will of providence will of the man where is not also the murderous intent which is not inherent, gives the right where the providence children becomes.

I know this one has been done before. Not that I've seen it, but just by merit of how long the resources have been available and the amount of fun that can be had doing it.
Here are the rules to this game.
Find a block of text, not too long. I chose the first paragraph from Yahtzee's blurb.
Go to babelfish.
Translate it to another language, any language will do. I find that the Asian languages translate much more poorly, so I chose Japanese.
Copy your text and translate that back into English.
Presto, instant art!
Might take you a few trys to make something truly horrendous. Give it a try.
Edit: After reading over that horrible bit of dross, I decided to try to retranslate it into proper English once more. Here goes nothing.
