Some Babelfish humour from a Kiva recipient 

When you loan people money via Kiva.org, sometimes they send little notes of thanks, and mention how things are going. Often they are in their native tongue, and I rely on AltaVista's Babelfish to translate it. This one, from a woman in Guayaquil, Ecuador with a small party supplies store, ends with the sentence:

"Les manda un especial saludo a todos los que le ayudaron a tener este préstamo que tengan mucha felicidad y un lindo ano nuevo."

Babelfish translates it as:

"She sends a special greeting to them all those that helped him to have this loan that has much happiness and a pretty new anus."
