    I took a flight on American Airlines last month to Dallas. The "fasten seatbelts due to turbulance" sign is grammatically incorrect (or is it ingramatically correct).

    I always crack up when people get random tattoos of something written in japanese. You wouldn't believe how many people I've heard get laser surgery after finding out what was written on them was actually making fun of them.

    I am guessing by the skin, it's on your gaijin flesh?

    Kinda similer thing.. I got my friend this t-shirt as he was moving to Japan, he didnt speak any Japanese (I think he does now). He is 6 ft 7 so thought the t-shirt was refrencing his hight...

    He emailed me a few months later to say sombody in the street had told him what it said :dance:

    Japanese text in tattoo form are like anime. Once you actually understand it, you realize how stupid it is.

    Wasn't that Tom Crusie's baby's name? Suri. Depending on how you say it (or mangle it to get it to sound like what you want it to I guess) it comes out as mouse in French or pickpocket in Japanese!

    I hate to think what the PC Engine tattoo will look like on a 60+ year olds body.
