Yet forgive me God, that I do brag thus
This your air of France hath blown that vice in me
I must repent
Go, tell thy master here I am
My ransom is this frail and worthless body
My army but a weak and sickly guard
Yet, God before, tell him we will come on
Though France himself and such another neighbor stand in our way!

-Shakespeare's King Henry V (Part of it I had memorized for school) becomes:

But you forgive a god, myself consequently
this one your air of puffed up Frankreichhath
the prahle that sheet of tension to me
I repent
go must, declares thy with Masters here,
me the my ransom am those frail and body
sans.valor my army however a patient and pretends is slightly already,
a god, it explains me why us
although France itself and such others neighberstandplatz in our manner of concerning!

...And I thought Shakespeare on his own was confusing...

[Cel Theory]

I had to try this, even if I thought it would be hard.

Every Who Down in Whoville Liked Christmas a lot...
But the Grinch,Who lived just north of Whoville, Did not!

Each one which wanted to the bottom Christmas much in Whoville..., But Grinch which lived straight lines the north of Whoville, not!

[Silvanon]

(Romeo and Juliet)
What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make die with a restorative.

translate to

What is here? a basin, closed in the hand of my right loves? I, hath the his timeless fine étée see the poison,: O-churl! drinkable all them and not of friendly drops then aiming to help me with calms? I embrace thy lips; Of Haply of poison dothfall on them, cubic with a means reinforcement of forming however.

and
A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

trans

Glooming a peace that this morning takes to him; The sun, ensures, does not show its head: consequently have more conversation of these sad things; Some-of are pardon' D, and punished some-of: Forever, a history was more unhappy only this one of Juliet and its Romeo.

Mmm it seems to rather like Shakespeare.

That is so crazy. >_>;;

I just realized now that her sig is familar. Is it from the Last Unicorn? (I'm not sure, though.)

Yeah, it is.

o.O; Wow it really changes the meaning of the qoute many times. *lol*

hmmm nope I don't think it is...I found it on some qoute page I think... it's a reminder to people that once an animal is removed from the wild, people are forever responsible for it's well being.

Although it is also true that we are responsible for all animals that are left homeless in the wild because of humans taking over everything.

[SyrSyr]

Wow, I'm really out of it.

By Antoine de Saint-Exupery, by the way. No idea what was up with my whole Unicorn thing. XD;

[Thele]

*throws latin into it*

original:
Omnibus, non tantum daemoni eorum insito, confide

becomes:
Collective, one does not trust tantumdaemonieoruminsito,

becomes:
Together, one does not trust tantumdaemonieoruminsito,

oO;;

Very strange. The real translation is, 'Trust everyone, just not the devil inside them.'

[Dyani]

I put in the first verse of Jabberwocky because it was mostly nonsense and I wanted to see what would result...
Original (probably misspelled):
'Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gire and gimble in the wabe, all mimsy were the borogoves and the mome-raths outgrabe.
After four translations:
' twasbrillig and the slithy toves Gire form and intern with that wabe, complete mimsy this borogoves and this mome-rathsoutgrabe gimble.

Heeheehee.

Then: "Life is short. Make fun of it." became "The life is short. form joyeusement on him."

Don't worry, be happy

If you do not ensure yourselves, you are happy
