Lost in Translation

[pne]

I was just reading the German Wikipedia article on "Übersetzungsfalle" (translation pitfall) and had to snerk about the the section "Beabsichtigte, scherzhafte Übersetzungsfehler" (intentional, humorous translation mistakes):

• "Garibaldi, Italian for pressure cooker" (from "gari-baldi", i.e. "das Essen ist bald gar")
• "Mubarak, Arabic for cowshed" (from "Muh-Baracke")
• "Fidel Castro, Spanish for violin case" (from "Fiedel-Kasten")

*snerk*
