welcome, we found this sign in Iowa.

Dong Da Qiao; Beijing, China

 

My thoughts:

1. Who the hell translated this?

2. Why did they put this up?

3. Has anyone told them that there are other words to use than Anus?

4. I don't think they know what anus exactly means - b.c anus technically means the "end of the anal canal and the opening of the rectum to the outside of the body, the very end of the digestive tract" and according to Wikipedia : The anus, in anatomy, is the external opening of the rectum.

5. And in chinese the characters say that they cover the entire intestinal area - which also includes the anal canal and the entire digestive tract, including the large intenstive and the colon at the end - so really anus is not an entirely correct translation.

5. Here are some other alternative words: rectum, alimentary canal, digestive tract, digestive tube, gastrointestinal tract, GI tract, colon. am I missing any others?

 

Photographing these is an addiction. I can't stop anymore now that I have started. Help...

Most of these were rolling pretty fast and were back lit and from the car through the passenger window...what you see is what you get.
