You know those 'Made in China' things you buy off eBay that have really badly translated instructions/information on them? Well I'm sure you've found some of them funny, as I have.

Post all of the funny translations you've found on things here

I'll start.

On the side of a battery charger box:

"Quickly awake and heal the sleeping battery or those battery which have not been sued for long time."

I remember one on a knife: "Keep out of children".
Yeah, that's sound advice.

Such names are derived from vocabulary they learned in their early English lessons, including names such as Apple, Space, Can, Sea, Mooncake, Magic, Koala, Spider, Thunder, Cloudy, Table, Bird, Eleven, Hifi, H2O, Ice, Puppy, Well and other names of animals, plants, weather phenomena, household appliances, days of the week or months. Some people have even unknowingly chosen swear words as names.

Found these pearls of wisdom in the instruction manual of my new "Ditigal" DVD Player (note this is all exactly copied, right down to the last unwarranted capitalization):

USAGE NOTES OF DVD PLAYER
Please don't put the player at the following positions:
-Sun Shining or heat radiation place, such as heater, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.
-Top of other heat radiation device
-Bad ventilation or dusty, high moisture, unsteady or vibration place or expose the unit to rain or water.
-Nearby the high power speaker or on the same stand with speaker. Keep it away from shocking to protect its normal work.
-Don't play the disc with scatch, bented or creaked to prevent the unit from damage.
