party game?

ooh. cool idea for a party game. Find a collection of well-known passages (examples -- "When in the course of human events;" "Four score and seven years ago;" lyrics to well-known songs). extract about a paragraph of text from each, but the most familiar paragraph (so don't go taking the *end* of the Gettysburg address). Now put each through the babelizer. At the party, make people guess where the passages come from. Or better yet, make each contestant read the passage aloud and give prizes to the first person who guesses the origin.
