If you really want to have fun, go from English to French to
English. Then take the result and go to German and back to
English. It's worse if you can find a translator that goes
English --> French---> German---> English.
I did "The body is willing, but the spirit is weak" and got:
French: Le corps est dispos� mais l'esprit est faible
English: The body is laid out but the spirit is weak
German: Der K�rper wird ausgebritten, aber der Geist ist schwach
English: The body becomes ausgebritten, but the spirit is weak
Didn't realize "ausgebritten" was an English word ;-}.
