By the way, this is a grand example of why people translators are better than automatic ones (although the latter are not without value, & amazing for giving you the gist)

Stick these into an automatic translator and you get 'holy shit', 'what the hell?' and 'hey, asshole'.

Ask someone who speaks Thai and you get expressions about cholera and water lizards.

Now, credit to the automatic translation for getting the correct gist, but I can't help but feel it's missing something important.
