| Combining the Prior Art and MultiBabel sites gives truly bizarre output: "First and Third" becomes... "In the first place and third is a pot plant! It shouts 'WARNING!' at the first sign of danger!" or, reversing the order of operations for pure nonsense... "In the first place and the third bathtub of the place, of that one it is just always!" | |||
