Looks like Italians don't use Google for translating

Otherwise, their translations would be correct. This image was taken on my trip to Italy:

Notice the Contorni di Giornata: Side Dish of the Day

The menu reads: Side Dice of the Day

Notice Patate Fritte: French Fries

The menu reads: Fried Ships


I understand one mistake, but as I was typing this post, I noticed a second error on the same menu!

Everyone on Facebook, shut up about the Zodiac signs

According to a recent report, WHAT YOU SEE IS TRUE. A team of scientist have recalculated the signs

"Astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates that correspond with each sign to accommodate millennia of subtle shifts in the Earth's axis." -Meaning Facebook, as hard as it is to believe, is telling the truth. Now go worry about paying the bills and feeding your kids.

The new dates are as follows:
"Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus:* Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

* Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year."
- That's the best part: "You all: You aren't important to us and no one likes you, so we excluded you from our new Zodiac game."

Facebook CEO and creator, Mark Zuckerberg has a house that I could afford.

Note: Some people are a BIT too stalkerish with some of the photos.

"Zuckerberg's new house, which is another rental, is slightly larger than his previous place. It has five bedrooms and around 3,800 square feet, according to internet listings, versus four bedrooms and around 2,350 square feet for the old place. No fewer than three satellite dishes are attached the roof. Out in front, you'll find Zuckerberg's black Acura... Along with a new security system of course." -Gawker

To stalk the youngest billionaire's home even closer:
