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.
