Some brilliant Browncoat set forth the idea to take a quote from the show and run it through Babelfish into Chinese then back again and see if others could guess what it originally was.

This site http://translationparty.com/ does it in one step (though admittedly into Japanese) and the mistranslations are even more kooky. If you follow it down through all the back-and-forths, it gets really rutted up.

So here goes. Do you know what this used to be?

What happened? He see your face?

Mal - Shindig - referring to Badger.

I think calling him that is an offense to the psychotic lowlife community. ?

mental illness = psychotic AND attack = offense did it for me I guess.

Looks like you only went down a few in the stack. So, I will do the same. Be aware it doesn’t always give the exact same result each time.

Let’s see, translate this:

Yes, it is a heap of problems in the world to me and very moving for me, I'm sorry.

I tried to keep a keyword in there to clue you in. Furhter down the translation party it got very vague.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I believe that is, "Yeah, it's a tale of woe, very stirring, but in the meantime you've heaped a world of trouble on me and mine."

I seem to be having some problems loading the site, so give me a minute...

Okay, my adblocker was blocking most of the site, that's funny. Anyway.

I can only guess... 'You gave up everything you had to find me, you found me broken'?

"To control this no, can not be trusted."
