In a Swiss mountain inn: Special today - no ice cream.

On the faucet in a finnish washroom: To stop the drip, turn cock to right.

A sign posted in Germany's Black Forest: It is strictly forbidden on our black forest camping site that people of different sex, for instance, men and women, live together in one tent unless they are married with each other for that purpose.

In an East African newspaper: A new swimming pool is rapidly taking shape since the contractors have thrown in the bulk of their workers.

camping site in italy: Entry only allowed for roots.

This is not a mistraduction - these are automatically generated lists of words that will attempt to bypass a bayesian anti-spam filter, by suggesting that the link and the "D!rty chicks Want YOU" are part of a more meaningful message.

So far, the funiest translation I ever seen also came from Google, which translated the german "SAT-anlag" (something to do with satelite TV) by "Satan supervision". I still have yet to decide if it was wrong or not [smile]

"Sat-anlage" could be missunderstood to be "satan lage" which would be translated to satan's position or satan's situation. But i can't figure out why it translated to 'satan supervision'
well, who cares, it's funny.

A friend working as an admin/GM on a mmorpg here in Europe which had problem with the servers called up the korean developers. He told the guy that the servers were down and that they had to fix a problem so that they could turn them on again. Said and done, but when they tried to start them, it failed miserably and he called back and told them that the servers could not be put online.

The guy states "Ok Ok! So I tell the man that you are not happening yet."

We still to this date, do not know who "the man" is.

I'll take the shortcut and point you to a site dedicated to this stuff.

Enjoy!

I bought this hoodie from engrish.com last year, so needless to say, this is my favorite engrish quote.

This one's been around for a while.
