Well, that didn't work! He should've been more forceful and used "STOPNOW" as a license plate. We all know that niceties have no place on today's dog-eat-dog and car-crash-car roads.
Well. Danger is my middle name!
Perhaps you'd laugh at this "Engrish" sign, which said "Because you are dangerous, you must not enter," but is it fair to laugh when you don't speak a lick of Japanese?
Oh, stop giggling at the poor doggie!
Our pal Jeff Wysaski of Pleated-Jeans have listed 24 Pets That Have Completely Given Up, a compilation of dejected looking dogs and cats that have clearly given up on life. Here are 7 of these comically morose animals:
Last year, Redditor whoratio-sanz spotted this sign stating a Lakewood, Ohio, local park's July 4th Park Rules:
Mike Summers, mayor of the City of Lakewood, said to The Lakewood Observer that these rules were added for the safety and protection of everyone, "Safety is our first priority. These added security measures will help to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July."
Enjoy your freedom, America!

Move over, paintball! There's a new game in town and it's straight out of the "Hunger Games." Well, except that nobody dies and it looks like a lot of fun. Behold, archery tag, which is like dodgeball but with bows and arrows.
"The cool new weapon in media is a bow and arrow," said marketing consultant Peter Fermoselle to Stacey Anderson of The New York Times, "It's old fashioned. It brings a little more nobility to shooting someone."
Archery tag was invented by John Jackson of Instinct Archery, and the new sports was helped by the popularity of archery in pop culture phenomenons The Hunger Games and The Walking Dead. The game is similar to dodgeball: two teams of players scramble to collect arrows at the center of the arena, then proceed to shoot at each other from across the field with the foam-tipped arrows. A player is disqualified when hit by an arrow).
It certainly looks like fun! Check out the video clip below:

Build in the 19th century, Chapel Torre Giona is a stunning neo-romantic building that used to serve the Roman Catholic Church as the place of worship of the Collegi de Monges de l'Ascenció school of monks, but no longer.
Now, though the power within the former church is not ecclesiastical, it is no less fascinating: Chapel Torre Giona now houses one of the world's fastest supercomputers.
Meet MareNostrum (Latin for "Our Sea"), one of seven supercomputers in the Spanish Supercomputing Network and arguably the most architecturally beautiful. Set inside the chapel, the raw power of modern technology stand side by side with ancient collonades, Romanesque arches and ornately carved wooden doors.

Oh, the grin on that man's face!
Trolling level: EXPERT.
When she was renovating her house, Imgur user alyssatheV got a little creative and decided to pull a bloody message prank on the floor. She painted chilly messages like this "Get Out" in with blood red paint to be discovered by the unsuspecting person who'd re-do the carpet after she sells the house.
The ominous message "Not Alone" was painted in a corner of the room.
The bloody foot print and the scrawl that says "Mama" pay homage to the horror movie that inspired the prank.
Well that sure inspired some confidence in the school!
Someone at the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, sure has a sense of humor. The sign's no longer there as of three years ago, when the building was expanded. Redditor cjhelms explained:
The building was constructed in two parts. One completed in 1972 and the newer part completed in 1982. The newer part includes the wall to the left and the older part is the rest that you see. The photo was taken from the basement level. The lettering is above the first level (the windows above the words are of a second floor conference room). There was originally a pedestrian bridge that connected to the entrance below the lettering.
When the newer portion of the building was constructed, the contractor missed his mark and caused the lettering to be cut off. Why didn't they change it? The space that used to be a beautiful grand entrance to the college was converted into a loading dock.
Well, I don't C any problems!

Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Kermit the Frog made "cameo" appearances in The Little Mermaid. During the opening scene with King Triton, you can see them hidden amongst the merpeople:
There's also a little child with a Mickey Ears hat in the photo above. See if you can spot it.

Can't argue with that! This Sonic Drive-In fast food restaurant in Texas goes straight for the jugular (or is it stomach?) with this gem of a poem: "Roses are red / so is ketchup / Have a corndog."
