Good example of why English is so hard!
Can you guess in general terms what this paragraph is saying?

"Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member."

2 people went up a hill to get a sample of someting that was in a hole at the top of the hill. One guy triped and fell into that hole and cracked his skull open. The other guy "scared" slipped and fell into the same hole.


Thats my translation, who next???

It sounds like something that Altavista's "bablefish" or Google translate would crank out.
