The first thing that came to mind was “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” try it, it’s creepy.

The loop detection is weak, try it with “The price of liberty is, always has been, and always will be blood.” and you’ll see.

My name is Tim. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make any noise? I am a teacher who likes to drive a scooter.

I tried “todays favorite letter is the letter h” and ended up with “Shape, like a string today.” haha

“How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”
If the timber wood lumber and timber? ?
“How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”
? Wood and timber wood timber?
Awesome.

Oscar Wilde’s “there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about,” becomes “Burt, I said world.”
Dickens’ “‘Tis a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known,” becomes “‘So far, I still Tis, I left all good.”

Why a foreign language? English is bad enough.
When I was in the states, many years ago, with my German girlfriend, yanqusan’s would say something obscure to us and my girlfriend would say ‘you speak English, what did they say?’. Quite often my answer would be ‘I don’t know, I don’t speak THAT English’.
A couple of times, I would say something and peeps would ask her ‘what did he say?’. Having learnt ‘Oxford English, she had great pleasure in translating from Australian.
Note:
1: I speak Strine
2: I have no idea what Oxford English is but she was taught it.
3: we spent a lot of time in the back blocks ie Alabam, Louisiana etc (and had a grouse time).

Oooh, even better,
“One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” becomes
“This person is a small step in the giant leap for mankind”
A possible improvement over the original, I feel.

I you ask it, “What would Chuck Norris do?”, the translator seems to get very upset, almost if it does not dare embark on the task it is given.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. comes down to “Other people, please love me.”

The incomparable Bard: “Once more unto the breech, dear friends, once more” mysteriously becomes “Finally, the best friend, Sue, bottom, again”. Love it

Interesting, The famous Ceasar quote about men lend me your ears turned into “In Rome, You can listen to country friends.”

“One is the hand is worth two in the bush” is hilarious. It comes out to: “President Bush has lowered the value of a single”

Wow, I entered in a line from a classic tune called Sex Dwarf, and the results are ridiculous! I think I broke it.

I was too lazy to get a real sentence, so I tried with just “to have your cake and eat it too”.
And I got “Eat your cake”.
Fair enough.

There is nothing to fear, but fear itself. -> I worry, I worry.
Unfortunately, you can’t always come to equilibrium.
One mans meat is another mans poison -> infinity….
They need a relation that is well founded… Perhaps looking at the homeomorphic embedding rather than repetition.

Some “translations”:
(beep) has invited you to become friends on YouTube. Becoming friends makes it easier to keep track of what your friends are favoriting, uploading, or rating, and makes it easier to share public or private videos.
And friends, YouTube’s SuperPiper12 have been invited. Easy, friends, friends and favoriting movie reviews, the upload and sharing of public and private trucks.
It is doubtful that this phrase will ever reach equilibrium.
Try again with result…

“Take our politicians: they’re a bunch of yo-yos.” becomes
“Please politicians: They will be shipped Yoyoyoyoyoyo Yoyoyoyoyoyoaru Yoyoyoyoyoyo Yoyoyoyoyoyo Yoza.”
This could make the start of a pretty good song, actually.
