This is a story I once read in the newspaper.

In the same Institute conducted the experiment. A group of students seated in the audience and given the task of translating into English the Russian proverb.
Then the students withdrew and started a second group with a task: to translate into Russian what did the first group.
the Proverb "Bad head to the feet rest does not give" the double translation has become a "Lack of intelligence gives strength to the legs."

I did a puzzle in a foreign site . I know nothing about English, and the other players did not know Russian, so many amusing incidents happened, but the players were very loyal and good-natured, comfortable and cozy I was there, despite the complicated situation with the translation, then I remembered this website and got interested in the puzzles

In fact, a Ukrainian proverb, "For a bad head and feet NEMA Spock". Listen, as beautiful and melodic sounds, which is typical for the Ukrainian language.
There is an English analogue: "Run around like a headless chicken"
