A little cruel to use a nonsense poem to illustrate, but fun nonetheless
Frumious bandersnatches all round? Or perhaps a jubjub bird? Ah well, onwards
Indeed beware!

So thou hast slain the jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy,
Oh frabtious day, calloo callah
he chortled in his joy!
or at least I think that's how it goes...
Indeed beware!

Oh, by the way...why don't the 'and's & 'the's get translated?

I love that poem... one of the greatest adventure stories ever! Oh, by the way, for a really weird twist, in Douglas Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach, there's a version of it in three different languages! Really! There's the original English, then German and French.
