Engrish!
EDIT: If your translation results come out as question marks (?????????), then you do not have Japanese support installed. Don't worry about it - copy the question marks instead of the hiragana/katakana/kanji.

Engrish:
Time of the person whose now everything is good comes to the help of their countries, it is.
English:
As the RIAA launches increasingly rabid attacks against P2P networks and users, pundits continue to debate the future of P2P.
Engrish:
The RIAA being more and more to make rabid attack launch vis-a-vis p2p network and the user, the Hinduism scholar continues to discuss the future of the p2p.

Perhaps even more amusing (and requiring less work) is Lost in Translation. As the site itself says:

I've wasted many a good hour translating ridiculous things.

Row, row, row, your boat:
Spanish:
La línea y la línea, esa forma de una elasticidad a la temperatura

Translated back to English:
The line and the line, that form of an elasticity to the constant
temperature in the most inferior piece of the river, its boat
