Any one ever been to babelfish.altavista.com?
a teacher of mine brought it up in class one day while talking about his veitnamese wife and how she calls toes 'foot fingers' and was getting a good laugh out of it. Then he went on this rant about 'engrish' and how it can be hilarious at times.

here is an example of English being translated to for example Korean
befor:That is a lovely yellow pot you have.

after converted back to english from korean:
That the love which is you is and it is a pot which is yellow.


you can even buy things with 'engrish' on them at http://www.engrish.com they have some pretty funny stuff on there.
