Well, the "Homer Sells his Soul" episode is in one of the Halloween episode
(Treehouse of Horror, or THOH, although I can't remember which one off the top
o' me noggin') and these episodes are universally understood to be outside the
sham known as "regular Simpsons continuity." As for the other episode, I
thought they were just making fun of the silliness of baptism, and not actually
saying Ned was going to "reverse baptize them into satanism" or anything...

Now if your a Unitarian like me, you might say that Ned actually could be
Beezlebot himself, or at least that Ned serves him (and it's obvious that at
least some of the writers have a good working understanding of Unitarianism).
After all, people like Ned can't possibly be serving a benevolent power ;-) But
I don't think that's what they're necessarily going for...

That's nothing! I once tried translating "The spirit is willing, but the
flesh is weak" into Russian and back; I ended with "The vodka is good, but
the meat is rotten". Similarly, "Out of sight, out of mind" turned into
"Blind idiot".

    All right, why?  Why into Italian?  He is from Germany, so why didn't you translate into German, then back to English?  Das ist sehr besser! (Translation:  That is much better!)
    It was funny, I'll give you that...  I've done some fun stuff on Babelfish, too.  Try saying "freezing our butts off!", then translate it into the five languages, back and forth...  It gets weird! :-)
