5:24p - Amusing Link
Some of you may have heard of the book "The Fool English! - How Our Language Gets Lost in Translation". The link leads to some quotes from it, some of which are from German-speaking countries and all of which are pretty funny. The one that caught my eye was from a restaurant menu in Vienna:

"Fried milk, children sandwiches, roast cattle and boiled sheep."

Now, the last two kind of make make sense... and I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be "children's sandwich" (as in, sandwiches for children)... but I haven't got a clue what "fried milk" is supposed to be.

Also, we have tags now. :D
