It's so long ago I can't remember exactly, but there are tons of comical mistranslations on the internet and I seem to recall that I picked and chose my favorites and chose the sequence. I also recall that I wanted to include a brief note explaining that these were lines gathered off the internet, but the editor chose to omit the note and simply leave the words "found poem" as the only disclaimer. In retrospect, I wish the note had appeared.
