Worst translation ever?

Yep.. I've seen that one too. In fact.. i saw one that said, !warning: may contain peanuts or other tree nuts, and processed on shared equipment that also processes nuts" .. it left me thinking.... Gosh.. I hope so....

When I lived in Cameroon, the locals spoke "pigeon english" which was kind of an unfying language from the diffrent tribal languages.

we go chop = lets get something to eat

throw saliva = spit

ease myself = go to the bathroom

I can understand that warning on food products that wouldn't be expected to contain peanuts. A significant number of people have an severe, even fatal, allergy to peanuts and would want to know if there's a chance of "peanut comtamination" in the product.

But, a warning on peanut butter that it "contains peanuts"? Oh, come on! That's as ludicrous as the warning on sleep aid products that they may cause drowsiness. I think we're getting into "Darwin Award" country here.

If you use grease that comes in a cartridge, the grease plunger will take a set to the ID of the cartridge. If you then switch to bulk grease, the plunger will not seal to the bare inside wall of the grease gun and grease will seep out of the back of the gun. Do not switch back and forth between cartridge and bulk grease.

Reminds me of when a German friend was visiting and we went over to my neighbor's. They could not understand each other's accents so I had to translate both ways with everyone speaking English.
