Subject: RE: Klementine
In a language class I tok in college, the instructor talked of a translating program. They put in the phrase:"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak". It was translated into Russian and then back into English by the computer program. End result:

"The vodka is fine but the meat is spoiled"

Possibly an anecdote to get us to study harder....
