Found this on another site, you start out with a sentence in English, translate it to a few other languages, and see what comes back when you finally translate it back to English again.

Original English Text:
this is what happens when i'm bored
Translated to French:
c'est ce qui se produit quand je m'ennuie


Translated back to English:
it is what occurs when I am bored


Translated to German:
es ist, was auftritt, wenn ich gebohrt werde


Translated back to English:
it is, which occurs, if I am bored


Translated to Italian:
č, che accade, se sono annoiato


Translated back to English:
it is, that it happens, if they are bored


Translated to Portuguese:
é, isso que acontece, se forem furados


Translated back to English:
it is, this that happens, will have been pierced


Translated to Spanish:
es, el que suceda, habrá sido perforado


Translated back to English:
it is, the one that happens, will have been perforated
