CHAT: Mental patient, beaten ignition. (Instruction for 007's Martini.)

The following texts are a sort of linguistic variation on the game where
a given message is whispered along from person to person until, in the
end, it becomes something completely unlike the original message.

I have used a translator program.  The first sentences/paragraphs are
the original.  The second was gotten to by translating to French, then
the translation was translated back to English.  Then the same with
German, Italian, Portugese, and Spanish.

These are just some choice phrases, and the last one is a paragraph
similiarly tortured that I put together from one of Patrick Dunn's comments
on English use by students.  I hope You do not mind, Patrick.

Anyways, enjoy.  Just some fun, nothing serious.  (Thus labeled CHAT)

Sincerely,
                Roland Honsch
