Found this while stumbling the net. (http://translate.google.com/translate_t)
If you translate "I ride a motorcycle" to french and back a few times this is what you get:
I ride a motorcycle
Je monte une moto
I mount a motor bike
Je monte un vélo de moteur
I mount a bicycle of engine
Je monte une bicyclette de moteur
I mount a bicycle of engine
But then if you go english to french and then to german and then back to english you get:
I mount a bicycle of engine
Je monte une bicyclette de moteur
Ich richte ein Motorfahrrad auf
I put a motorfahrrad up
Classic
