    Aww, that second character looks like a smiley face :)

  2. JohnB says:

    I’d hate for something to endanger my drowning!

  3. Jennifer says:

    Carved rock dangerous for blunt force trauma!

    • JohnB says:

      As I might have said before, I fully expect that one day soon, all knives will be engraved with the warning: Caution. Cutting edge is sharp. Avoid contact. Knives may cause injury or death when inserted into body. Do not use for removal of earwax.

      • Jennifer says:

        On a slight tangent…I’ve seen “Q-tip” packages that say not to insert them into ‘inner ear’…which is awesome!

        Technically, we can still swirl those around in our ear canals because you’d need a long Q-tip, and an especially high pain tolerance to actually reach the inner ear…jamming it through the tympanic membrane, along the eustachian tube a bit, and finally penetrating the cochlea to reach the inner ear!

        Yes, please don’t use knives to remove earwax!

        • JohnB says:

          Yes, I’ve seen a “not for removal of ear wax” warning on Q-tips, which led me to wonder what else they could be for, since that was their primary use, as far as I was concerned. Having lived 28 of the last 32 years with one or more females, however, I have come to appreciate that women cannot live without the things, although I’m still not quite sure why.

          • Jennifer says:

            *shrugs*
            I’ve heard they can be used for makeup…though I’m pretty low maintenance and don’t use the stuff. I just can’t stand the feel of water in my ear canals, so swab it out after a shower.

            They’re useful to prop open a juvenile lizard’s mouth whilst you examine its jaw or have to treat an abscess in there, because it can’t hurt itself.

            • JohnB says:

              As a psychotherapist and behavior consultant, I can’t say I’ve done much work with juvenile lizards. Although I have met some people whose emotions were primarily reptilian…

              • dr handle says:

                …although last time I had to deal with an abscess in the adult male, I just used my husband’s thumb to prop the dragon’s mouth open (he would’ve bitten through a cotton bud, and I didn’t want him to get hurt). Both of them required wound debridement after that.

    Is this Beijing? I’m guessing this since it looks a touch smoggy. But I can’t distinguish between Chinese and Japanese characters. But is that the ghost of Chairman Mao doing the backstroke way back there?

    Reason I ask is that if this be Beijing, then when jumping in there drowning may not be the only thing I’d be worried about. God knows how many industrial chemicals, solvents, poisons, carcinogens, etc., are in there since the Chinese have been rather lax about monitoring such things, plus E. coli is in there, too, also because of lax water quality standards/sewage treatment being less than thorough.

    Sorry to be a buzz-kill, folks.

    • JohnB says:

      Hey, you’d have to work harder than that to kill a buzz around here! Even if you did, we can still have a lot of fun with dead flies!

    • Hirayuki says:

      It’s not Japanese. Though the characters in this case exist in both languages, the wording is Chinese.

      And no, I wouldn’t dip my baby toe into Beijing water. Not even on a dare.

    • E. Coli says:

      no i am not! i am right here!

    • kamizilla says:

      It’s Beihai Park, right next to the Forbidden City. Beijing is smoggy sometimes, yes, but I’d like to see a major city that isn’t. They have a lot of clear days too, and they really cleaned things up for and since the Olympics – at least in Beijing. And I wouldn’t be worried about industrial waste in the waters… not really. It’s the human waste I’d worry about. But this would still be in the ‘clean, touristy’ part of the city. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen people fishing either there or around there.

      That said, I probably still wouldn’t touch it.

  5. dr handle says:

    It’s very dangerous for Drowning – but for everybody else it’s perfectly safe (provided you wait for half an hour after you’ve had something to eat).

  6. saywhat says:

    Dangerous for Drowning. Perfectly safe for Ingrown toenails.

  7. dr handle says:

    No up and drowning allowed.

  8. BE says:

    Isn’t this Kuching in Sarawak? Atleast looks formiliar

  9. Dora says:

    The first character is small, the second is heart, the third is fall (also error, or the point of a joke) and the last one is water.

  10. Erin says:

    all the “engrish” photos are fake??? i hope so. they are all sooooo crazy lol

    • JohnB says:

      Yes, all the fame and fortune that comes to Engrish Funny photo fakers insures that everybody and his uncle will be photoshopping pictures just to get on this site. Never mind that I am now on this site, having had to fake no photographs at all…
