On the lighter side, I recently picked up a Japanese made clip-on mirror for my car that makes the rear view mirror larger. Maybe it's because I write for a living, but I just found the following absolutely hilarious:
"Safety back finder Hypics wide rear view fine mirrors. It have incredible full fanction and spearhead from. The mirror infromation to integral back circumstances. Because this mirror have wide view, clear color, and undouble reflective view. Best quality give you satisfy, and wide clear view give you feel so safety. Besides, this mirror is intelligence styling. Safety back finder, Hypics wide rear view fine mirror."
[and yes, "fanction", "from" and "infromation" are all spelled that way]
I'm just imagining some poor schlep of a tech writer who doesn't speak a word of English struggling through a Japanese-English dictionary and trying to pick out the "right" word from all the possible synonyms. I have to admit, though, it does have a rather poetic quality to it, especially when read aloud....
