I'm a big fan of Rahoi.com, but that site doesn't update its contents very often, and expends too much effort on intelligent discourse. This one, Engrish.com, has plenty of just what I want. It's got plenty of fun images, with no thought-provoking buzz-kill. At last an alternative dealer to feed my addiction!
Here's a stolen example:

Excellent! Here's another from this site:

"What luck for rulers that men do not think." -- Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945)
"If only we could impeach on the basis of criminal stupidity, 90% of the Rethuglicans and half of the Democrats would be thrown out of office." ~~ P.Z. Myres
"The default position of human nature is to punch the other guy in the face and take his stuff." ~~ Dude

Here is one I grabbed while on a sort of photography scavenger hunt a few years ago. While I take no responsibility for the sign itself, this is my origional photo in all it's glory...
Seems a fellow ought to be required to take history and English classes.

Then there's this one from Engrish.com:
The site's caption:Caution: sailors have been at sea too long...

My guess is that one's been modified, Half. You're the touch-up expert, but the dithering around the letters doesn't look like normal jpeg artefacts to me.
It's still funny. |

The Engrish.com site seems to take authenticity pretty seriously, judging from their FAQ page. Here's another page that shows the same image of the Titan Uranus, but larger:

I honestly don't see any Photoshopping artifacts, but I can be fooled, too. BTW, Uranus was one of the Titans.

Ok. But when I'm wrong, I like to be completely wrong.
30 seconds of research had me convinced that the name itself wasn't a fake, but something about the image still bugged me. I went looking for a bunch of pics of ship hulls and blew 'em up enough to see the artifacts.
I still think the artefacts on the original are somewhat odd, but concede that they're not odd enough to indicate subterfuge.
All the images above are at 400% of the originals.
Theory sunk. Blub. Blub.
