    Lol! I have not seen that site in years, and almost have forgotten about it. It used to be frequently linked from ebaumsworld.com and collegehumor.com.

    Definitely worth a look if you have not seen this.

    ^ it does. I speak Japanese and you can't count the times I heard someone say (direct translation of "Am I speaking Japanese?") "I Japanese Personing?"

    Ahh I just love the translations provided by google and babblefish. There are a few choice japanese websites to translate into english. I don't think I'll share'em though.

    I've known engrish for ages. I miss the inexplicable object of the week. Hell I even figured out what the pooping doll was for.

    OMG, I love the last picture!! That site is pretty entertaining. My old Japanese teacher showed it to her class a few years ago. Classic.
