It could be a theme restaurant.

You order, and they give you something completely different. For that authentic foreign restaurant feel.

This would be a better message to see than say: “You have just experienced a fatal server error”

I wonder if they still have that place in Beijing that specializes in animal organ meats...male organ meats to be exact. I mean, the city was already asking restaurants to take dog off the menu.

There’s a character in an anime named Sesshoumaru, which means, among other things, Killing Perfection. A translation from Hong Kong called him Killing Pill.

I love Google translate. There is a character from the same series named Naraku. His name means Hell, more or less, but is often used as a term for theater basement. I got used to Google translate him as the basement, and then trap room. But suddenly, they consistantly started translating his name as Coaster Ride. I have no idea why.

At least “Translation Server Error” was more understandable!
