I knew taking that structural engineering course would pay off!

(Yes, I know it’s a scam, but I was quite charmed until I hit the “croupier in a casino” part. Totally destroyed the image.)

As long as we’re doing Engrish, here’s the directions imprinted on the side of a bag sealer…

1. Put the plug in the power (No power is consumed in case you do not press the handle). e
2. Adjust timer to prelim inary setting for tickness of bag to between 1-9(the smaller as possible).
3. Seave the handle about one second after the signal light is off automatically while you press the handle.

You should answer back. I read an interesting article the other day about a guy who actually responded to a message like this, and after a few rounds of emailing, he figured out it was an auto-responder. It never replied to anything that he said. Eventually he wrote it something really harsh, and it just kept repeating things about how happy it felt to have a friend, how it told its mother all about him, and couldn’t wait until they met in purpose. Never one single thing about the guy himself. I found it all very amusing. It was the photo that hooked him.

I once dated a Margari_d_a (with a d; she was Portuguese). She returned my first phone call with “You called me.” Um, yeah. Good grasp of the obvious.

Well, clearly a man’s structure is very important when constructing relations - a weak structure might collapse at a critical stage. 🙂

**Sunspace** , that sheet makes my brain hurt.

So, if I’m reading the symbols on the bottom correctly; you can’t play Pac-Man, you can’t cry, you can’t fire and you can’t feed this toy to your giant talking alien plants. I am understanding.

Which email address should I reply to? The one it came from or the one in the body text?

I saw this Engrish on a t-shirt the other day:

```

BUT, feel free to secure a rope to the ceiling with three short screws and swing around from it. At least that’s what the picture looks like to me.

I saw this Engrish on a t-shirt the other day:

```
                             JESUSCRIST
                           Always love you
                              SweetLove
                            No borther line
                          No hate each other
                          Get fuck'n love
                           And peace life!

```

I was intrigued by the justaposition of the JESUSCRIST and the “get fuck’n love”.

ETA: what the heck happened here? The above is what I saw on the t-shirt.

For reasons that I am not quite sure of, I had a body-wobbling laugh at this post.

I want the t-shirt even more!
