The sign says “You’ll Never Get to Work On Time HaHa!!”.

Not only is it saying you’ll be late for work.  But it is laughing at you with the “HaHa” and two exclamation marks.

Someone sure has a sense of humor.

Hmm… Interesting.  I’ve never seen this sign before. But then, I’ve never lived in the UK (which is where this sign was shot).

I categorized this photo under “Interesting”. I did not categorized this photo under the “Fun” category, as it is not nice to make fun of elderly people (That might be me someday).

Square Watermelons Grown in Japan

Japanese farmers are growing square watermelons. Why? They pack better than round ones, and the fit better in their small refrigerators, and they take up less space.

Are they genetically modified? No. They just turn out to be square if you make them grow inside a square tempered glass cases while they are still on the vine.

Why we don’t see them in the United States? According to CNN back in 2001, one watermelon costs about the equivalent of $82. So they probably do not sell well here.  But in 2010, NPR did report of a Panama fruit company shipping some square watermelons to New York.  They mentioned that it costs $75 a piece.

Is this for real?  Or did someone altered the photographs?   It is for real.  Besides being reported on CNN and NPR, it was also reported on BBC.  Snopes.com, which often debunks urban legends, also says the photographs are real.

Dangerous Sign with Sharp Edges

Some signs are useless. In addition, this one is dangerous too and it says so…

This sign says “CAUTION: This sign has sharp edges.  Do not touch the edges of this sign.”  Well, if the sign wasn’t there, then there wouldn’t be any sharp edges for us to touch.  And there wouldn’t be a need for such a Caution.

Actually, I think the sign is about “no smoking”.  See tiny icon in lower right.  Not sure what is the icon on lower left indicate.

And the bottom text says “Also, the bridge is out ahead.”  I guess, they thought the sharp edges of the sign is more important the a bridge being out.

This sign reminds me of another ironic sign linked here.
