'Please do not close to the hair, finger, clothes to run about the inside's vehicle, in order to prevent quilt involvement'
The other week I got a mini radio-controlled bus from Camden. Big deal, I hear you say. Well, it's like this; the 'manual' that came with was worth the £9 alone. It appears to have been translated from Japanese to English via Turkish and Klingon, and if you were following it alone, you wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting anything to work.
The attention to detail is incredible - it's the sort of thing you'd expect for assembling an Apollo rocket, not a plasticky plaything. I've scanned them for your viewing pleasure - click on each page for a big version.

SweetIf you use one of those online translators you can do that, use bablefish to translate something English to French to German to English.
Oh what fun!

That's what you get when you translate out of a languge with a high level of implication.
