My favourite "phrase designed to mess up machine translation" (I'll
bet there's one big long word for that in German) is

"Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana".

:-D

I'd love to hear of other similar phrases. And somehow I intuit
there's people in this ng who know lots of them :-)

If people think it's too much newsgroup abuse to discuss such a
non-python subject, then email them to me privately, and I'll collect
and list them.
