      The City School District of New Rochelle is a public school district located in New Rochelle, New York. New Rochelle has one of the most extensive educational systems in Westchester County, comprising ten elementary schools, two junior high schools and one senior high school. The district enrollment is 10,584 students in 10 schools in grades PreK to 12. The annual budget was $210,748,000 in 2007, with a per-pupil expenditure of $19,017. [1]

      Schools in the district have received the Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Department of Education on multiple occasions, including in 1983, 1984, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1998.[2].

  3. Tony says:

    Very funny. It’s amazing how somethings just don’t translate.

    • GnyomoDiFormaggio says:

      Its not that they don’t translate its that u can’t generally translate with a bilingual dictionary and no experience in the language, ho un sacco di patate

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Google translate made sense of the last part of your comment. Of course, for all I know it’s an Italian euphemism.
        You’re mostly right, though. The “regulars” on this site know that problem all too well. But having recently read a book about the Chinese language, I think Tony may be right, too.

        • GnyomoDiFormaggio says:

          No your right it’s not actually an obscure euphamism, i made the comment because it would translate and look funny just like the submissions. But yes it does mean i have a sack of potatoes.

  4. Bobo says:

    god, not obsolete, I meant redundant, Friday afternoons are not so good for too much thinking :-D

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Friday afternoons make a sh!t in your stream of consciousness. :P

      • JohnB says:

        Thank God! I didn’t know WHAT I was going to do if making a sh!t was obsolete! I thought I was finally going to have to figure out how to use Twitter or something…

        • JohnB says:

          Well, dinosaur that I am, I don’t have an iPhone. I make due with a Motorola Razr. So I guess I’ll have to keep sh!tting by hand, er, uh, by the low-tech method.

  5. paws4thot says:

    It may well be a perfect literal translation, but a native English speaker just wouldn’t say this.

  6. mngnt says:

    Tiež ma to napadlo…
    Dosť často sú tu takéto “engriše”, napr. poľský chlieb Semen :D

  7. metalhead3000 says:

    It probably means that the spring (“stream” is a wrong translation, “spring” is better) is situated in a slope and you shoudn’t go above it because the soil could collapse and bury the spring. I think it’s one of the springs that are made by drilling horizontally into a slope that has underground water in it and putting a PVC pipe there.

  8. metalhead3000 says:

    the translation is hardly perfect, not even plausible.

  9. saywhat says:

    so complicated. I just gotta go. Help.

  10. kurtofan says:

    Don’t cross the beams!

  11. BookBurner says:

    Well, I’m Czech, and I think I know a bit about Slovak language… And the first sentence is quite accurate… I can’t say the same about the second one.

  12. dr handle says:

    If someone is detected crossing the stream, watter they going to do?

    AAAAAARGH I’m turning into DnT again HALP HALP HALP

    • JohnB says:

      *clonk* Now do you feel better?

      • dr handle says:

        Ah, that’s better, yes. Thank you.
        You have a talent with a wand, are you sure that you don’t want to be a Dreadful Typo Hell fairy? (I gotta warn you, the rest of them are all off on stress leave).

        • JohnB says:

          I would actually have a talent for spotting Dreadful Typos, as I have often been told I should have been an English teacher. Unfortunately, I see so many so frequently that I doubt I could find the time for it!

  13. Grue says:

    Remember kiddies, Don’t cross the streams.

    • PoodleGroomer says:

      This stream has flowed past a buried high intensity gamma source. It is trying to be a quiet mountain stream. Don’t cross it. You will make it angry. You don’t want to see it when it’s angry.

      • GnyomoDiFormaggio says:

        okay i get the ghostbusters referance, but the the Hulk??

        • Droll not Troll says:

          It’s a running theme that started a few pages back. Some of us have been here a while, and we do that sometimes. Noobs need to do some reading to catch up.

          BTW What’s the first half of your name? I know what the second part means.

          • Droll not Troll says:

            Oh. I just tried saying it aloud. Does the whole thing mean something like “Cheese eater”?

            • GnyomoDiFormaggio says:

              No but kind of close it means the cheese gnome(literally though it means the gnome of cheese)

              • JohnB says:

                How did you get to be a cheese gnome? I’ve never seen any want ads for employment as one. I have recently attained the title of Dreadful Spelling Sprite, but that’s another story.

                • GnyomoDiFormaggio says:

                  Well it was quite easy you see, i was born as the cheese gnome, giving cheese to good little italian boys and girls is wat i do

              • Droll not Troll says:

                Ah, I see. Google translate wouldn’t handle “Gnyomo”, so I assumed it was Italian slang. When I tried to say it (I don’t often try to speak Italian) it reminded me of “omnomnom” which we see here sometimes.

  14. bailflog says:

    don’t CROSS OVER (it is diference between “cross it” and “cross over”)
    anyway, first sentence is translated more or less correctly

  15. McCauley Culkin says:

    In which case your language is fail

  16. MetaGaijin says:

    Yes, Borat meets Ghostbusters. And then presumably they have sexy time.

  17. Gorgon Medusa says:

    This is odd.

    You mean it’s normal in Slovak to use profanity on public signs?

    Tough crowd.

    • Devil Dan says:

      It’s not usual. It just happens to be the case here. Which means, that the first sentence is translated accurately. Engrish fail.

  18. Kay S. says:

    this is not fail- it’s this vulgar in Slovak language, too; the difference is that in Slovak it sounds funny

  19. alaskaranger says:

    Heh – as only the fotophinder seems to has discubrified, if that’s a perfect translation from the Slovak, riddle me this: what’s Slovak for “watter”?

    Overall, this sounds like a fistula on the Vistula….

  20. slav says:

    studnicka=well
    not spring or stream
