My new favorite thing in the world

So http://www.engrish.com/  pretty much has this topic covered.  I'm not feigning breaking any new ground, but terrible English translations still make me smile.

I bought this toy recently at T2000 in Kigali:




There's a lot of Engrish on the package, as you can see, but for me the most wonderful is the list of "function":
  • Site can swing
  • Light
  • Music Sound
  • Not be able to resume normal place (emphasis added)
It's that last one that seems really, really powerful to me.  I interpret it that this toy is the end to normalcy, that your life will be irrevocably changed by its use.  I am pretty sure that is what they meant.
