"Have you seen my luggage?" made it through 10 and 20 translations just fine, but 30 seemed to do it in, giving me "Please refer to the things you want?"
40 gave "Please read carefully what you want?"
56 turned it into "Find out what you want." At least it's a coherent sentence.

40 rounds turned
"Falling in love again, never wanted to.
What am I to do? I can't help it.
Men flutter to me like moths around a flame,
and if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame."
into
"In love. How? If the liquid is hot, the sky, I know that my nightmare wings responsible."

Several bits with uncommon words or proper names ended up with foreign script (usually Chinese) in the final English version.

Reminds me of this.

If any of you are unfamiliar with it.. it's star wars, translated into Chinese and then translated back into english.

EDIT:

Quote:

"I have a lovely bunch of coconuts."

...56 translations later we get:

"Chicken soup."

Along the line to 56 translations we had this jem:

***HINDI : मैं एक बड़े मुर्गा संग्रह है.
Back to ENGLISH : I have a big c**k collection.**
-----------------------------------------
"Living in the army can give you a headache and a bullet hole."

...56 translations later we get:

"With a long ball in the hole."
-----------------------------------
"Rub the chicken with spice so that supper isn't bland."

...56 translations later we get:

"Preventing war is not especially difficult."
--------------------------------------
"rubbing a chicken is like poking a dragon in the eye.I wouldn't suggest it."

...56 translations later we get:

"Did you know women are final."
----------------------------------------
"When I grow up, I want a pony with a good temperament. Goddesses like to swim in the ocean and eat ambrosia. How are you?"

...56 translations later we get:

"I am just happy that God has humor, sea, good food kifhalk think swimming pool;"
-----------------------------------------
"the truth of the matter is that I hate mexican food because it upsets my stomach and can even give me gas. "

...56 translations later we get:

"In the heart of Mexico and natural gas in the past and must be tested."
-----------------------------------------
"Give me reason to fill this void and connect the space between so I can find the truth that lies across this new divide."

...56 translations later we get:

"I was wrong, and New Programs, and can I reduce the gap between scientific research."
-------------------------------------------
"Come into my world, see through my eyes. Try to understand, don't want to lose what we have. We've been dreaming, but who can deny, it's the best way of living between the truth and the lies."

...56 translations later we get:

""Galaxy" on your Invoice. This is a loss. You are my life. But between good and evil, even if not illegal, it's good."
