This reminds me of the early Bob Newhart routine where he proposes that 
if this was ever actually implemented, there would have to be people 
monitoring the results.  In this routine, he was one of these monitors. 
  And after seeing nothing but giberish he finally runs across one 
that's more promising:  "To be or not to be, that is the gogorgenplatz..."
(or something to that effect...)     :-)
