Have you seen the Vintage HC in the forums? I found it today, very useful in these hard times

And he is working…

I must confess, I did at one point wonder whether Anokra is a cover for an extended research project on just how much information can be conveyed without recourse to what might be described as the traditonal combinations of 26 letters, but then I realised that the chances of getting funding for 13 years were about as slim as the Republicans’ grounds for claiming that abolishing capital gains tax would save the free world.
But he is a lot cheaper than the Large Hadron Collider…

Its constructive misspelling, he is planning on creating a new word

You’re right chenier. Chinese wordprocessing software has around 13,500 traditional characters and about half that number for the simplified form.
Not surprising that they sometimes make a mistake when Korana has such difficulty with only 26…

And with the number of characters in the alphabet s/he would have so much more scope than our own dear Anorka…

At the top of this piece it says:
Please “clsoe” the “tolet” door omnivorously.
There is obviously a Chinese Anroak somewhere employed as a signwriter.

Hey, I’m impressed!

I am reliably informed that it means Please close the door after oneself (literally). Probably means close the door when you enter or leave.
The second character is not appropriate for the context which is probably why it was badly translated.
在你自己以后请关闭门

Pigeon. Yes, I’m vegetarian.
Like the sign….. I so love mistranslations but still can’t figure the one above though.

This picture is the globalization of English. Here we have a perfect example of Engrish.
Please omnivorously put the waste in garbage can and please close the door omnivorously. How the Japanese have got to omnivorously from our language is beyond me but they have. here’s another stunning example

…..dairy, if you have a sick little mind then mine’s on life-support…

C&C
Are you vegetarian?
October 1st, 2008 at 3:04 pm
omnivores eat anything ..might be more to do with meat than eat….
there again, the “door” could refer to the lid of the bin which it looks like the figure is throwing his crap into….?
….or is it just my sick little mind….?

C&C,
You are a professional writer; I shudder to think what you could be imagining, but I’m trying not to think about it…
October 1st, 2008 at 2:58 pm
whatever omnivores eat? I don’t know. I’m still lost in my own imagination.
October 1st, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Eat what in there?
October 1st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
do they eat in there?
October 1st, 2008 at 2:39 pm
and whats he putting in the bin? eeuurrkk.
October 1st, 2008 at 2:38 pm
closing things omnivorously, look how they tackle toilet seats
October 1st, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Careful C&C, we don’t want to attract the wrong sort of person to the thread…
October 1st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Is it? what bloke thing? I’m still not getting it!
October 1st, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Its a bloke thing?
October 1st, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I too am clueless, we need Clouseau…

Okay! I’m foxed. Can’t figure it out.
I have a photo of a sign at a Spanish waterpark saying ‘please submit to the succour-man’.
