    Olympics


    I've always been a fan of the Olympics (winter more than summer, but I like them both) and have been following the progress of the stadiums and such. I ran across this article lately that made me chuckle.

    Chinese men walk past a signboard at a pay parking lot in Beijing, where "fee" is mistakenly spelled as "pee". The Chinese capital has began a campaign to improve its signposting in English ahead of the 2008 Olympic Games. Among signs in need of correcting were ones for "Pubic Toilets," and "Deformed Men" -- the latter indicating facilities for the handicapped.
