   I don't want to make fun of fellow hubbers but this is the funniest thing I've read all day, I thought I was having a stroke because I could not make sense of the words.

      Did you read the whole thing?  I could't read far enough to get to the comments section.

         I just went back and scrolled down to make a comment, but I found myself speechless. I need to GOOGLE "file ablution cake", and "how to bake from one prick". Should I take my uncastrated stock with me?

   I think it may be a terrible translate.google.com event.  There's no way it can be anything else, I refuse to believe it.
   
   That's two Mt. Dew in two days that fall victim to the Hubpages Laughter Epidemic.

      You're lucky you were drinking Mt. Dew. I was drinking (and now am wearing) coffee.

   That hub is still there and getting google ads. If poor grammar is sub-standard then what about this hub? Is it OK with hubpages??

   Its a translation gone horribly wrong as Gamegirl suggests.    The sentence "you and your uncastrated stock real immodest of. This instant should be famous lordly"  caught my attention. Don't think the graduation is going to go well as the hub seems to be about graduation cakes. LOL!!! Couldn't read the whole thing but did scroll all the way down for comments.

   It's like they got a slab of text and put it in here: http://tashian.com/multibabel/
   
   Check it out, it's a lot of fun.
   
   I put in the first sentence that GamerGirl posted in this thread:
   
   
   Original English Text:
   I think it may be a terrible translate.google.com event. There's no way it can be anything else, I refuse to believe it.
   
   Translated to French:
   Je pense que ce peut être un événement terrible de
   translate.google.com. Il y a aucune voie qu'il ne peut être toute
   autre chose, je refusent de le croire.
   
   Translated back to English:
   I think that it can be a terrible event of translate.google.com. There
   is no way which it cannot be anything else, I refuse to believe it.
   
   Translated to German:
   Ich denke, daß es ein schrecklicher Fall von translate.google.com
   sein kann. Es gibt keine Methode, die es nicht sein kann noch etwas,
   ich ablehnen, ihm zu glauben.
   
   Translated back to English:
   I think that it can be a terrible case of translate.google.com. It
   gives to not be no method, it can still something, I reject, to
   believe him.
   
   Translated to Italian:
   Penso che possa essere un caso terribile di translate.google.com. Dà
   per non essere metodo, esso può ancora qualcosa, io rifiuta, per
   crederlo.
   
   Translated back to English:
   Task that can be a terrible case of translate.google.com. It gives in
   order not to be method, it still can something, I refuses, in order to
   believe it.
   
   Translated to Portuguese:
   Tarefa que pode ser um exemplo terrível de translate.google.com. Dá
   em ordem para não ser método, ele ainda lata algo, I recusa, a fim
   acreditá-lo.
   
   Translated back to English:
   Task that can be a terrible example of translate.google.com. It gives
   orderly not to be method, it still can something, I refuses, the end
   to believe it.
   
   Translated to Spanish:
   Tarea que puede ser un ejemplo terrible de translate.google.com.
   Todavía da a ordenanza para no ser método, él lata algo, I rechaza,
   el extremo creerlo.
   
   Translated back to English:
   Task that can be a terrible example of translate.google.com. Still it
   gives decree not to be method, he annoys something, I rejects, the end
   to believe it.

    My guess is that there is a piece of software which takes an article written by someone else, and essentially stuffs random word substitutions in so that it no longer counts as duplicate content. It no longer makes sense, of course, but Googlebot can't read.
    
    I have seen quite a few sites filled with this gibberish, that basically seems to exist for the sole purpose of holding up three Adsense units. It's the Clayton's MFA - the MFA you have when you're not having a MFA.
    
    What beggars belief is that the idiot actually went and attracted members of the HubPages community to come and read it. Unlike Googlebot, we CAN read. And we know how to press "flag thus Hub".
    
    Just when you think you have found a lower bound to human stupidity ...

    P.S. And obviously not from around here - one of those graduation cakes had a bride and groom on it! The days of having one's graduation and wedding in the same year are long gone in the Western world.

       I wish I could make hubs like this one . My "Funny stories" hubs are miles away but I´m going to translate them several times in order to get that funny lack of sense .
       
       
       edit: I can´t stop laughing . Even though I´ve flagged it as "Not written in English" .

       But it is worth trying.. one of my favorite  parts is "There is real no requisite for plush decorations, but decorations are easily made of confetti, exercise caps cut from unfortunate medium, etc. At this age, there is also younger pauperism for planning tangled activities."
       
       Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding unfortunate medium.

          This thread is almost as funny as the hub!  Maybe if each of us would post a section of the article here (like Rochelle did), we'd be able to get through ALL of it.  I had to stop after the second paragraph!   The Comments section is blank, btw.  Go figure...

          Thesaurus, anyone? 
          
          I'm thinking we plug the whole thing into Word, put each sentence on a separate line, then make like Inspector Morse or Agatha Christie and read only the first (or last) word in each.
          
          If that turns out to make no sense either, read every [pick a number] word.  This article seems like too much garbledy-gook even for translation software to screw up, so maybe it's some sort of code to hide "Drop the money under the special tree at sundown on Thursday".

    While I agree it's probably an auto-translation for the sake of adsense, it's still funny for the first few lines.
    
    I'm thinking I should let my cats walk on my keyboard, then submit it to translation and then see what they have to say. 
    
    
    Or, on second thought... what if they are better writers than I am? 
    
    I'm not sure my fragile male ego could handle that.
    
    Forget I mentioned it.

    this is actually what happens when people use google's translator OR a software that generates articles. But this guy was probably translating from Spanish to English

    P.S. You can get something like this text if you take an article from an article directory, and replace every noun, adjective and verb in it with either a) a random word beginning with the same letter, or b) a thesaurus alternative word (eg substitute "prick" for "scratch"), or c) a random word from a Shakespeare play or the King James version of the Bible.
