An American Dream
I looked around the nice restaurant. There were not many people here, just a few couples scattered around the room immersed in their own conversations. I could not remember the last time I had been in a city bigger than my hometown. My cousin, Christina, had moved to New York City a few years back. I rarely left my small home in rural Massachusetts. She convinced me to come and visit her. When I arrived, and we had caught up with each other; Christina told me that she knew a man that I should meet. I was not too anxious to meet a man. I had some unsavory encounters in the past. She believed that I was too shy. To make her happy I agreed to go on the blind date. Christina told me that he was a poet and that she had met him at one of his readings. I guessed that since he wrote, too, at least we would have something to talk about.

Google Translate With Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is one of the very few writers in the world that has remained relevant even centuries after his death. His famous work has been adapted many times and his use of words have been constantly dissected by generations of pupils and teachers. He is considered one of the great writers of all time. Of course, nowadays this can be easily disputed as everybody has their own opinion. Despite this, his work is still referenced and adapted even to this day. So, a random thought came to me after watching some Google Translate sing music videos: what if Shakespeare's work went through the ever-so-famous Google Translate treatment?
