Heh.  Neat.  Let's see how it handles a bit of Rilke's autumnal verse:

	Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr.
	Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,
	Wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreiben,
	Und wird in den Alleen hin und her
	Unruhig wandern, wenn die Blaetter treiben.

This turns into:

Who has now no house, no more builds itself.  **time-out** who now
alone be, will it for a long time remain, will be awake, read, long
letter write, and will in the avenue back and forth jerky move, if the
page drive. 

I read this roughly as:

Winter is coming.  Stock up on RAM now, lest you suffer excessive
paging (the "page drive ... back and forth jerky move".)

Now back to work.
