Engrish
When I spent a short time in Japan, I loved finding signs in English that didn't make sense. For instance, on subways it would often say, "Please Silently Walk Go." When I returned, I learned of many websites that collect such Engrish. I think we do a remarkable job as a planet with the multiple languages we communicate with. It's hard to master one, let alone figure out another. I am thankful, however, that we don't have Flesh Salads in our local grocery stores. I don't imagine they'd be very good unless they were grilled with BBQ sauce, and even then, I think I'd pass.
