Holy Junk!

I found a website that I thought was pretty cool. It is Engrish.com. In case you didn't know, Engrish is the sometimes nonsensical translations that Japanese make from their tongue to English.

The website shows a way that you can translate English to Engrish. You just go to a translator website, type in the sentence or word, translate from English to Japanese, then highlight the translation, and then select Japanese to English.

See, the name of this website in Engrish is:

Random accidental accident.

Hmmmm...all too apt, wouldn't you say?

If I translated "Holy crap!" it would be Holy Junk. And if I say, "I am the coolest person I know," it would come out as, "It is the coolest person where as for me I have known."

Therefore, it makes sense that some things become confused in the translation. Ah, well.
