More babelfish shenanigans.

So, I came across this web site devoted to some pervy art with a feature on Beresford Egan. You all know how much I love Victorian-style S&M illustrations. The page is in Italian, so I don’t understand more than 1/16th of the text. I decide to write to the author and sing my praises, and there is a link to some of Beresford’s DeSade illustrations that isn’t working, and I was curious as to whether there was another URL. Long story short, I wrote the email in English, then used the notorious Babelfish to translate it into Italian. A while later I became curious as to how my Italianized letter translated back to English. Voila:

Absolutely I love your Web site, especially your exposure of Beresford Egan. The connection to the art DeSade/di Egan does not seem to work, however? I would love to see it. Books I have in his art are plentiful all of his DeSade is yet incomplete. You have made a job excellent. They are therefore happy is people outside here with taste similar to mines!

Hmph.
