I don't think Webster could rhyme cooky that many times!

And in the "unintentionally funny things athletes say" department...

Doug Mirabelli of the Boston Red Sox is in the sports page today, but not for his play. The day before he was traded from San Diego to Boston in May, he was benched for an inability to focus on the task at hand. Mirabelli was unhappy with the General Manager of the Padres reporting this to the press yesterday. Here's what he had to say and, remember, this is responding to a statement that calls his focus into question.

He called the acts of Kevin Towers "as unprofessional as you could possibly get, especially being at the helm of a huge organization," and went on to say "It caught me off guard. I've dealt with it all day. I had a hard time even concentrating on the game."

(And you know, that kinda makes me wish Towers said something earlier.)

So, through HemiCuda (who is Norwegian), I learned that:

"Fart" is the Norwegian word for "speed"
and
"Smell" is the Norwegian word for "boom" or "crash"

...It's not the fart that kills, but the smell.

Also, Odd and Roar are both perfectly acceptable Norwegian names for males.

"Odd" is also a pretty good description of Norwegian males.

Unintentionally hilarious, the town of Eromanga

These signs always make me laugh. I always think about them without the pause between slow and children...
so instead of slow, children at play it's "slow children" at play...
and then there's the irony of the image of a kid running to depict these "slow children"

[The Cid]

Well, if there ARE slow children around, you'd do well do drive more carefully.

[dmpotter]

My favorite are the signs that read:

GO
CHILDREN
SLOW

I spent a week in the summer in a place that had a 'blind children' sign near it.

And, yes, my first thought was to do with lasers.

In some culture, somewhere, yellow diamonds are associated with commands, not warnings. And someday a man or woman from that culture will come to the US, move into a nice suburban neighborhood, and raise royal amounts of havoc.

My neighborhood's signs're blue with white lettering and a white border:

D R I V E
S L O W L Y
WE <3 OUR CHILDREN

[Deacon]

Different neighborhoods are arranged differently with different parking patterns and street width and lighting levels and everything else, I understand. But the single thing that really and truly pisses me off is this abomination known as "school zones" and the speed limits that slow from a crawl (~30mph) to holyshit slow (~20mph) for no good goddamned reason. The schools around here are all set way far back on the plot of land with a whole parking lot between the roads and the school. The busses do not drop the kids off across the street, but immediately in front of the door. Kids are not allowed to play in front of the school but behind it in the fenced in areas or inside somewhere. 30mph is overwhelmingly slow already, but to drop it to a snails pace of 20mph is ridiculous and unnecessary. The kind of shit the Kyle's Moms of the world get away with frustrate the hell out of me.

Unintentionally hilarious: a friend of mine has a habit of saying "oh really?" when you tell him something interesting. Recently he's discovered the "O RLY?" owl, and he's having a laugh about it when I informed him of where it originates. His response to this little tid bit? "Oh really?"
