There’s the old joke about how several passes of machine translation and back-translation (English->Russian->English, in the version I know) converted “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” to “The wine is good, but the meat is rotten.”

This seems remarkably JoCo-relevant: a video of someone reciting the notorious Tom Cruise video transcript… as machine translated from English to German. It’s probably howlingly funny… if your German is adequate (mine isn’t).
