As far as I’m aware this is at Beijing Zoo, I saw the same sign on my visit this June.

Suddenness is the suddenity of the suddenocity of the sudd.
Or the suddenocity of the sudden occurence.
Or the suddenness of the sudden that made it so suddeny.
Suddenness of the suddenity of the sudd devried from the sudden.

If suddenness happens, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Oh, yes, that’s right. It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the SUDDEN stop at the bottom!

Yeah, but they meant rest, actually. When you fall over the rail, you REST
suddenly. This is to be avoided.

Or um, something.

Hi, I submitted the picture – I didn’t see it posted, so it was a fail on my part. Sorry Steph. This is actually a real picture from the Beijing Zoo Panda Exhibit, taken by me on a trip in September, 2007. I submitted about a dozen Engrish pictures taken in Beijing, Guilin, Xi’an and Shanghai, but this is the one the site posted.

Start looking for your action verb?? Apparently it was lost in all the suddenness.

I’m gonna have to swing with the “no” team here. The old photo has a wall in the background on the right with foliage behind it. The new picture has a building there. The old picture has large rocks on the ground. The new picture has none. The old picture has more railings and people walking on the left. The new picture has a panda climbing frame there.

if you look closely at those 2 pictures you will see that it actually is the same location the photo is just taken from a different angle in a different season

So, that would mean that suddenness happens in multiple locations! Eerie…

obviously photoshopped….

Have we seen it before? – Yes.
Is it funny? – Yes.
Did Angela Necro an old image? – No.

Looks like the same Park/Zoo sign but in different locations. Backgrounds don’t match at all.

The railing exists
to help prevent suddenness
to those that walk here

Yeah, I speak English… hell, I even teach it, and I don’t even use “lest.”

They used “lest” correctly though, how many native english speakers can claim the same?

By: GimpViking

Yeah, it always happens so… suddenly, doesn’t it?
