maybe your list is a bit long... and most mistakes in these messages are simply due to bad translation...
by the way, when you make a mistake - or a typo - you can simply edit your message...

These signs are probably invented. Most of these lists that circulate by e-mail are created, not actually found.

LOL Some of them are very funny. I liked the one of the Roman doctor "women and other diseases" Amazing how sometimes translation is a loaded gun.
 
I think the one of the Budapest Zoo was written by one of the guards. Ha ha ha ha.
 
Good stuff. Thank you.
