Stuart reminds me of Translation Party <http://translationparty.com/>, a
wonderful website where you enter a phrase in English.  When you push the *Find
Equilibrium* button, it starts a loop, translating from English to Japanese
to English.  It continues until it gets two English translations in a row
that match.

Translation Party turns the sentence

*"Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow," said Mrs. Ramsay. "But you'll
have to be up with the lark," she added.*

into

*' Yes, of course, tomorrow 'said Mrs. Ramsay'. Open the Lark ' of women.*

(cf.  http://translationparty.com/#11035348).

One of Stuart's own phrases provides even more fun:
