Google the first word that comes into your head…

_bucket_

Click a random result (the nearest to the mouse pointer, or whatever)

_[http://www.buckettruck.nfld.net/](http://www.buckettruck.nfld.net/)_

Randomly click links on the page (making sure not to make any decisions whatsoever. Be as random as possible)

Then select some text from the page and paste it into [Altavista Babelfish](http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/)

Convert it into a language of your choice. Convert that back to english.

paste it into your post.
