This might get the award for best article title too.

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: He was naked, on crack and in alligator’s mouth

“A gator’s got me,” Apgar replied, his voice faint in the background.

Mayid’s call shortly after 4 a.m. sent four Polk County, Fla., deputies racing to the 2,150-acre lake just outside Lakeland, Fla., where they jumped into the water and wrenched Apgar’s arm from the gator’s mouth. The 45-year-old victim, who told authorities he’d passed out nude on the shore after smoking crack cocaine, was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.

I don’t know about you, but I’d have a difficult time going #1 into one of these. Too reminiscient of Rolling Stones / Mick Jagger…

BTW, I had to rewrite to avoid at least four thematic unintentional puns. I guess Freud’s theories may still be alive and well after all.

When translators go bad

I laughed so hard at these mistranslations found on menus in China.

One of my favorites:

“Benumbed hot vegetables fries fuck silk”

Read the comments for a good explanation of how this malicious literal translation gives rise to such humorous groupings of words. I guess you may be able to place an order even with these being so muddled, but I’d stay away from the “sour and sweet bone” and “cowboy meat”. But I hear the “Assorted Fuck” is a real delicacy!

You can’t make up better sh*t than this. Unbelievable.

First out of the gate:

Fedex sued a loyal customer for posting photos of furniture he made for himself out of Fedex boxes on the web. Get this, they used many…er…novel…legal arguments to try to scare him. Welcome to the doghouse FedEx. You’ve got great company, such as Cisco and Oracle.

Some highlights:

They tried to use the DMCA in their claims. But were complaining about trademark issues. Copyright law does not cover trademarks. Next!

ZDNet's "apology" to Google

Fri, 19 Aug 2005 12:40:00 -0700

Gotta love brit humor! This is great tongue-in-cheek commentary at its best.

The background: News.com UK published details about Google’s CEO using public information found on…Google (aka Google hacking). Google wasn’t happy about this, so they banned Google employees from speaking to News.com reporters for a year. Absurd!

But, fortunately, ZDNet UK has apologized for the whole matter, although it is covered with loads o’ sweet syrupy sarcasm.
