Surely you've all done it before. When you use an internet translator, and translate something into French then back again, giving you a hilarious story! Take this as an example:

This is my English Homework from the other day...

Carling Cup Final – Bolton 1-2 Middlesbrough.

29th February. Always an odd day. Cardiff’s stage was set. Just a month earlier, both teams had qualified for the final. Bolton had won their last major trophy over 50 years ago. Middlesbrough? Not one in their history.

As the teams arrived in Wales, they realised that the winners would walk away with a place in Europe and the Carling Cup. The losers would leave with nothing.

Fans started pouring into Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium. This was to be played indoors. The atmosphere was kept in a huge bubble and was never set to leave until the exits opened. Half an hour to kick off, fans started streaming in from all sides. This was the real thing.

The teams ran out, and after a strung out welcome, including the National Anthem, it was game on.

Bolton had the first chance of the game, Jay-Jay Okocha running into the penalty area. His shot went wide. Middlesbrough fans had barely sat down when their first chance came. Zenden sprinted down the left wing and gave a perfect ball to Joseph-Job. Jasskalinen committed but missed, leaving Job with the easiest tap in league cup history.

The red and white side of the Millennium Stadium went into raptures! After so many league cup final defeats, Boro had finally had a foothold at 1 minute and 39 seconds into the match.

Bolton kicked it off again. They had some work to do to get back into this game. However Middlesbrough attacked again, and Joseph-Job again, sprinted into the penalty area and seemed to be tripped over by the foot of Thome. Bolton fans shook their heads. Boro fans were shouting for a penalty.

Mike Riley pointed to the spot. Zenden stood up, and blasted it into the back of the net. Boro were in dreamland – 2-0 up in 10 minutes!

This was turning out to be a sensational final. Bolton were stringing passes together, while Middlesbrough were more fluid in attack.

Bolton’s Kevin Nolan drilled a shot from the right wing towards the near post. Keeper Schwarzer seemed to have the shot covered yet it bounced off his body and his arms and in at the near post.

Bolton had more chances. Djorkaeff could have had 2, if it wasn’t for some world class saves by Schwarzer. He was certainly making up for his error.

Half time score: Bolton 1-2 Middlesbrough

2nd half came and Bolton chased for the equaliser. They tried desperately but their attacks were disjointed and defence was pulled apart to a Middlesbrough side who truly wanted this trophy.

Many Middlesbrough players had the chance to put the game to bed, Brazilian Juninho orchestrating many of them.

The 4th Official held up his board for added time. Four minutes was the time Boro had to hang on for or for Bolton to score.

Bolton claimed they had a penalty right at the death when Okocha’s shot hit the hand of Middlesbrough’s Ugo Ehiogu, but it wasn’t to be. Today was Middlesbrough’s day.

As the final whistle went, Boro fans rejoiced at the sight of their team, clutching the first ever piece of major silverware in their history and put the omens to bed. Job done.

Now, using Google translator , I translated this article into Portugese and back to English again, giving this entertaining piece (NOTE: If you hate grammatical errors don't read this!)
