"We cannot use the Ruling Ring. That we now know too well. It belongs to Sauron and was made by him alone, and is altogether evil. Its strength, Boromir, is too great for anyone to wield at will, save only those who have already a great power of their own. But for them it holds an even deadlier peril. The very desire of it corrupts the heart. "

"Authorized an immediate reaction. Craven, nonsense! And teeth. The Hobbit hobby is very polite, friendly. Oh! Smeagol fine, nobody is. Tired of Hu Jintao, seven, seven, who is responsible, I say unto you, dissemination and infiltration. A good friend of my son too. ""
This is strange, I picked an 'easier' passage on purpose and it got even more messed up than a difficult one (if the degree of 'mess-up' can even be accurately measured with these things...)
