I am reminded of an old quote that it is an elevated level of understanding to realize what we do not know.
As I want this to stay a "family accessible site", I have never posted the sites that detail tattos people have gotten - thinking they were Chinese characters, or actual Chinese character tatoo that perhaps don't mean what the wearer thinks they do. I have not also never posted any links to interesting translations of Chinese menus but this tale I had to share.
