BrainBank: Apparently My Name Becomes 'Folly' From the Side Edition

I don't fully understand the technology behind this, but essentially what this web service does is take your name (or any word, or jumble of letters) and create it in three dimensional space using a series of points, which is then rotates all around until it can divine some sort of recognizable word from it. So, for example, 'Bobby' becomes 'Folly', while my friend Girish's name becomes 'Girish' because even Chinese technology cannot fathom his name.

The Engrish on site is pretty amusing, too. I've wasted a good twenty minutes putting in random names of people I know, and chuckling at the words it comes up with for them.
