Maybe something was lost in the translation.

All my coworkers (especially the ones involved in product development and translations) and I found that hysterical - thanks!

That page linked to http://www.oddee.com/item_98202.aspx, which linked to another page that brought the lulz:

OUCH! These Are Not What You Think They Are!

At first, the photo seems to depict two fingers, but these are not what you think they are. The photo is actually of a young woman’s legs.

The woman was told to kneel in frozen peas (or possibly dried chickpeas) as a form of torture. This kind of punishment has been used in some cultures to motivate students to behave or to become subservient. This is a viral image going across the internet. Some sources have listed this photo as that of a school girl being punished by her teacher, but others have argued that the picture was sourced from a website for individuals who get a kick out of watching this type of punishment from one to another. Yes folks, believe it or not some get satisfaction by watching others who experience physical pain.

Please do share your thoughts on what you think this is and if this is an acceptable form of discipline.

Thanks, Hill, for a much-needed laugh at the end of a long day.

I thought "Wasted and Broke" was a impressive bit of truth in advertising.

I was all set to mention the Chevy Nova but just read that its poor sales in Spanish-speaking countries are an urban legend.

Wasted and Broke is on my grocery list.

Thanks, Hill.
