October 09, 2005

So, I decided to kill myself with a shotgun for the good of humanity, and because I lacked dairy products. As a final request, I wanted my remains put into a brand - name Ziploc bag and buried somewhere in Appalachia. On a lark, I translated my suicide note into French, using an AI translation bot. Using the same bot, I translated the French into German, and then back into English. I got:

I must mine explode let head. I make this in the name of whole mankind, and, because I am outside of the cheese. If you mean bodies would find, please all becoming lumpy it in a bag of Ziploc of the indication name does not collect one of these cheap imitations and any part in Appalachia bury.

Well, when I saw that, I decided that it didn't make much sense to kill myself. So, I wrote a declaration is support of life! This, I asked the bot to translate into Chinese, then back into English:

I want to live! The life is the best all matters, no matter my edible cheese. Therefore I invest my hunting rifle, is full with the solution housing!

Clearly, I made the right choice.
