Signbreakfast Ever spot a sign that cracked you up? You'll often find well-meaning, but hilariously wrong messages in foreign countries. But even if English is your native language, there's still room for misunderstanding.

Writer Doug Lansky has been gathering gems of unintentional miscommunication for years. His new website is addictive, letting you rate his collection of strange, amusing, and inadvertently salacious signs. Or check out his latest book, Signspotting 2.

Have a weird sign of your own? Share it with Doug and you might win cash, or even an around-the-world trip.
