Hysterical Chinese menu written in what this guy calls “Manglish”–Mangled English. This example is only the beginning!

This is from a great blog I just discovered, rahoi.com. Among other things, he captures Manglish phrases (in the style of Engrish.com).

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing for PC Review - PC Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing Review

// March 28th, 2006

Gamespot reviews the Worst Videogame Ever:

Just how bad is Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing? It’s as bad as your mind will allow you to comprehend. It is so disturbingly bad that even its budget price tag seems like a slap in the face. It really makes you wonder if the company that put out this dreck even took so much as a half minute to glance at the game that it was releasing. The game’s readme file does assert that the game was thoroughly tested on various PCs, but the end result seems to suggest otherwise. The fact is, even if you tried, you couldn’t play Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing the way it was seemingly intended to be played, and even if you could, you wouldn’t want to.

Bada-Beam Laser Cat Toy

// March 24th, 2006

This cat toy projects a laser dot onto floors or walls–circling, then stopping. I can only imagine how exciting that would be for a few of the fuzzier members of our household.

Only $13! Jack needs one!

Airline Loses Phillip K. Dick’s Head

// March 24th, 2006

Two roboticists built one of the most advanced artificial intelligence robots ever made, and put Phillip K. Dick’s face on it, in tribute to the late Sci Fi author. Problem is… on his way to show it off at Google, one of them left in the overhead compartment of his flight. The airline found it and shipped it to him, at which point it… disappeared.

That makes them (say it with me) Dick-Head Losers.

How to destroy the Earth

// March 22nd, 2006

The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you’ve had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.

Exploding Liquid Nitrogen Tank

// March 16th, 2006

See those two liquid nitrogen tanks? The one on the right didn’t have its pressure valve welded shut, and as a result, failed to build up pressure over the course of several months until the bottom of the tank ruptured off under pressure of approximately 1200 psi, shattering the cement floor, punching a 20″ hole through the cement ceiling and launching it into the a lab on the floor above.

The one on the left? Less lucky.

A phone conversation I just had

Ring.

“Hello?”

(An obvious recording:) “Hi, this is Brian, with Dish, the Sattlite TV company. I’ll get right to the point. Free receivers for up to four rooms, with remote, and a free DVR. If you don’t know what a DVR is, press 1 and one of our reps will explain it to you. This remarkable new technology…”

*beep*

“Please hold. All our representatives are helping other customers.”

..

“Cellular enrollment.”

“Hi, would you please take me off your list?”

“No.”

“No? You won’t take me off your list?”

“No.”

“But I…”

This is amazing.

// March 11th, 2006

I’ve never seen a 100% sanitation score at ANY restaurant in North Carolina, but Jack’s Corner–a little, family run Greek hole in the wall–posted the big score. Their Gyro is pretty good, and the felafel is no slouch either.

Cool Short Films

// March 10th, 2006

In 2005, Michel Gagné created a series of interstitial videos, 3 to 20 seconds long, for Nickelodeon’s halloween weekend. These are directors cuts–including some videos never aired or too disturbing for Nick.

Brilliant, funny, and A.D.D.-friendly stuff!
