Mo Morgan has put together a page for translating a web page to another language and back to English again, using Google's translator, resulting in cracking broken English. A long time ago at university I started writing a code beautifier which did a unintentionally fabulous job of mangling text into some strange Swedish-English mix, I never did finish it, but I digress.

Happy new year!

Ah, of course, turkey leftover recipies. Better than more sandwiches.
