Better Than BSOD

[]



Found on the internets, apparently the Chinese characters translate to 'cafeteria'. One wonders if this is a banner or something more permamnent??

Also: I learned this from Wikipedia today (another childhood 'fact' proved myth):

A common myth about the kangaroo's English name is that it came from the Aboriginal words for "I don't understand you." According to this legend, Captain James Cook and naturalist Sir Joseph Banks were exploring Australia when they happened upon the animal. They asked a nearby local what the creatures were called. The local responded "Kangaroo", meaning "I don't understand you", which Cook took to be the name of the creature. This myth was debunked in the 1970s by linguist John B. Haviland.
