Translate server error

This is a classic example of a bad machine translation going all the way. The owner of a Chinese restaurant wanted his shop signage translated into English so he went online and did a machine translation. Unfortunately the translation site was experiencing system issues so it returned a server error message. Thinking the error was his restaurant name in English, the owner gladly put up the sign big and high on the building.
