I just found this site today. Maybe some folks won't find it funny but for a word-nazi like me this amounts to hilarity of the highest caliber.

I was frequently amused by the translated instructions that came with Panasonic cctv equipment.
One example, a safety warning: Do not allow chidren to place bag on it's head so they may become chaked

"The service object of this toilet is limited by a person only." Wide open possibilities. I'm givin' it all I got, Cap'n!!

I lived in Japan in '83 and every day brought a yuk or three.
On later trips to Taiwan, I would find t-shirts being sold with obviously intentional Engrish on them. They knew what the tourists were looking for so they filled the need.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Thanks for the laugh, Kira--that was great!
I LOVE Engrish.com--it's one of my favorite sites to browse when I need a really good laugh, but I haven't been there in a while.
