>From Slashdot:

"Preparing for English-speaking visitors, a
restaurant in China recently ran its name through an online translator,
took the result, then purchased and mounted a large sign displaying
the English version of its name: '_Translate Server Error_.' "


This one sounds almost too good to be true!
