A friend taught me a neat trick if anyone gets too bored - take some text out of your favorite page, translate it to Japanese with babelfish (babelfish.altavista.com), then back to English. Instant Engrish!
Here's a random one I did the other day:
"Robert Anson Heinlein (1907 July 7th - 1988 May 8th) most influence of genre of the fantasy scientific novel was exerted, most it was 1 year old of the author who becomes the mark of dispute. He was the writer of the first scientific fiction which should be broken in the general magazine of the main current like the post of Saturday of 40 age where the unvarnished fantasy scientific novel is slow evening and it was between the first author of the fantasy scientific novel of bestselling novel length of the sixties. " ("Where the unvarnished fantasy scientific novel is slow evening" might have to make it as my homepage's tagline, if I ever get around to doing one.
)
I propose we use this trick and try to have an Engrish contest for the ages.
