Title:  BabelFish

Disclaimer:  I personally question both the usefulness of this library *and* 
the soundness of its construction.  But, it was fun, and it makes me laugh.  
There is some massively tight coupling with the HTML presentation of 
babelfish.altavista.com.  Perhaps it would be cleaner to parse the page into 
a DOM and select elements that way, but who cares--it's a joke anyway, right?  
If you have any refactorings, I'd love to have them.  It's really not very 
Rubyish as it is.

Description: This library can do Babelfish translations.  It's main purpose 
was to be able to translate some text from one language to another language and 
back, to produce something silly.  

Usage:  
	puts BabelFish.stupidize("Some text that will sound silly when returned.")
	puts BabelFish.translate("en_fr", "Something you'd like translated.") # translates to french

	...or to run it as a commandline program...
