Interesting Babelfish translation

I was looking for some books about the Klingspor typefoundry in
Germany, and I found a book description in German. I don't know
any German, so I tried a rough translation through Babelfish. This
line:

       Schriftkünstler Heinz König, Otto Eckmann, Peter Behrens,
       Rudolf Koch, W. Tiemann und Otto Hupp.

was translated as

       writing artists Heinz king, petrol hitting a corner man, Peter
       Behrens, Rudolf cook, W. Tiemann and Otto Hupp.

"Otto Eckmann" translates into "petrol hitting a corner man"??

I know machine translations are very rough, but this is just too
strange!
