    Another bad computer translations

    So, I was reading the year-end issue of Sports Illustrated and came upon an article entitled "You Can't Make this Stuff up".  It recapped some very odd and awkward moments in sports for 2008.  Anyway, a restaurant in Beijing, in preparation for the Olympic games, wanted to cater to English-speaking visitors by hanging the restaurant name in English.  They got a little help from an online translator.  They proudly hung the sign, "Translate Server Error".
     
    You can't make this stuff up.
