Read this BBC story about the government of Beijing attempting to rid the city of malformed English translations -- such as a sign that says "No Entry on Peacetime" instead of "Emergency Exit," or menu items like Government Abuse Chicken -- before Olympic tourists arrive.
Good luck with that.
For more weird abuses of English and English-like words, the favored site is Engrish.com.
