it's fun to run through the languages, especially if you use what I termed pssudocognates - words that look as if they ought to mean the same thing. Like, go from Epingle in French to Penis in English: Epingle = pin, pin=pine, pine=Penis, and so on. Running translations backwards through translation machines is always a howl.
