I would think the Klingon idiom for "this makes no sense" would be "Kill them!"

The most universally-confusing language is apparently Chinese, with eleven languages deferring to its incomprehensibility.

The ancient Greeks thought all foreigners sounded like sheep and made Baa Baa noises. This is where the word barbarian comes from. True story. Well, I haven't checked it, so: sincerely told story, at least.

English gives me much more, including some good laughs from Babelfish.

I work for a company called Bradford. Via Chinese back to English it translates as "lays mines buddha". WTF?
