When A Dictionary Leaves Its Mark on You
This little gem was sent in by Amit, and is just too good to pass.
As the story goes, this girl wanted to write "I love XXX" (boyfriend's name) in Hebrew and tried to accomplish the task using Babylon translation software.
Well, if you read this site, you know where this is leading...
What does this Hebrew Tattoo read?
"Babylon is the world's leading dictionary and translation software"
Oh yeah, THAT bad.
Remember boys and girls, never use an automatic/online translator, and especially if you're translating a name. Sadly, this effort was doomed from the start.

Its a Word Its a Number Its Superfail!
As far as today's victim is concerned, this tattoo is a "treaty number":
Now, I have no idea what a treaty number is, but I can spot a weird Hebrew tattoo, and this one is their crowned king.
Sure, you can represent numbers by letters in Hebrew, but not like this! Those are just random Hebrew letters, complete gibberish.
There's a simple way to spot a bogus tattoo even if you don't know much Hebrew. Just compare it to the Hebrew alphabet. If you find any Sofit (final form) letters in the middle of a word, then it's a bad tattoo. Letters can only appear in their final form at the end of a word, never elsewhere!
Did you think there might be a Sofit in this so called word? There are four.

Maybe Its Time To Swap Burgers For Bugs
Edible insects are great alternatives to conventional sources of meat as they’re cheap, plentiful and excellent sources of protein and fat, as well as vitamins and minerals.
Why eat insects?
Food demand is accelerating, and agricultural productivity cannot keep up. By 2050 global demand is set to double to 40 giga-calories per day, and much of this increase will be due to demand for meat.
The livestock industry is notoriously resource-hungry, consuming a third of all crops and requiring 70% of agricultural land. It also accounts for 20% of greenhouse gas emissions, through production, transport and animal digestive gas.
It is against this backdrop that edible insects offer an exciting alternative. They are extremely efficient at turning feed into meat and can be farmed at a very high density. This means that their embodied energy is low—a tenth of that of beef cattle—and that at high volumes they are very cost efficient. Taking their nutritional benefits into consideration as well, it is easy to understand why the UN, the EU, and the Dutch government are some of the major players investigating the potential of edible insects.
Top Edible Insects
Top insects protein providers are the grasshoppers known as chapulines in Mexico that have a protein content of up to 77.13%. Grasshoppers are a common snack in Mexico. grasshoppers are usually eaten with guacamole and tortillas.
We can also list the Mopane worms have 31 to 77 mg of iron per 100 grams. Black soldier flies maggots contain 42% protein.
In many countries, eating insects doesn’t raise eyebrows. Insects are a major source of food in many countries including Japan, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, Uganda, Botswana, Peru, Venezuela and Mexico.
