We’ve all seen shirts or even caps that sport and spoof pop culture references, but it’s always funny when we see signs, shirts and even warning labels that you’re sure is in English but can’t understand, or just make you go, “WTF?” You’ve probably seen one yourself (i.e. “budged meals”, “hamen eggs sandwich”, and “quit your smoking” signs), but signs that have been poorly translated to English from Asian, French or even Dutch language still make us all roll over, laughing. Or at least get some people who are still able to verbalize their confusion to say, “WTF?”

Now, this one is just downright insulting. Funny, but insulting.

Eliminate what? Why would you want to?

Classic. Just classic.

Yes, I didn’t understand that right away, but maybe because it’s very profound?

We know some people go to great lengths just to make their special day all the more special. Some opt for beach or garden weddings, while some take their vows to extreme sports levels with underwater nuptials and tying the knot while accelerating to terminal velocity. Others though, prefer to stay on safe and steady land but still have an unorthodox ceremony.

Tomohiro Shibata and Satoko Inoue were married by a robot. Specifically, a 4 feet tall, pigtailed robot with flashing eyes called I-Fairy. The wedding is said to be the first wedding officiated by a robot.

I-Fairy presided over the wedding via a series of cables to a guy who entered commands for the robot, as it is only capable of repeating programmed motions and sounds. Despite this, the I-Fairy is around 6.3 million yen (USD$ 68,000) and along with the one in Japan, there is one each in Singapore and US.

The robot’s manufacturer, Kokoro Co has also made lifelike androids that can laugh and smile, along with a giant dinosaur robot used for exhibitions. The company aims to “touch the hearts of people.” Kokoro is a subsidiary of Sanrio Co., the home of Hello Kitty and other cute and cuddly characters.

Hmm. It’s somewhat scary to contemplate what they’ll think of doing next. A Hello Kitty mecha? Well, the least we can worry about is a bunch of new robot ministers marrying couples in Vegas, right?

If I were a strong person who could lift weights double my own, and was competitive enough to seek out other strong people just to prove I were stronger, I would’ve probably lost to the people in this list who are considered the world’s strongest.

Tatiana Kozhevnikova. She holds the Guinness Book of Records for having the strongest vagina. Her lady part can lift up to 14kg, which was made possible after she started exercising her muscles for about 15 years.

Why she’s crazy: Maybe it’s just me, but, she had to prove that she had the strongest vagina by showing everyone. Pictures or it didn’t happen… but it did. And she had her pic taken while lifting balls.

Song Tao. This kung-fu black belter can lift 100 lbs of water by buttoning two water-filled buckets to his eyelids. Yes, he’s got eyelids of steel. He trained under another kung-fu master who  had the same skill.

Why he’s crazy: Seriously, buttons in your eyelids? That, and the fact that he’s sad the art of lifting water-filled buckets with his eyelids might die with him because none of his pupils could take the hard and painful eyelids-of-steel training.

Varvara Akulova. She’s considered as the world’s strongest girl. At the young age of four, she could already life 220 lbs of weights! But she’s not stopping there; every year her lifting power increases by 25 lbs or 11 kgs, as opposed to her own weight that only adds around 2 lbs yearly to her total body weight.

Why she’s crazy: She started working out early, and she wants to grow as tall as 190 cm so she could be more like her father. Um, she does know that her father is a hugeass muscled man who lets himself be carried by his own daughter for fun. Just so she could prove she’s strong.
