New winner for funniest spun/poorly translated article
I just flagged a hub called "Usage of English Grammar."
It contained the following gem:

This reminds me of a story one of my history teachers told me back in the day. Apparently someone in Portugal once published a helpful book for people wanting to travel and do business in the UK. It was called "English as She Is Spoke."

Who translated the scriptures and how do we know they're accurate?
Whenever people quote the bible they always say things like 'Verily I say unto thee' and words that no longer exist in our modern vocabulary. I'm sure Jesus - if he ever said the words at all- didn't use that particular terminology, so how do we know that the bible has been translated accurately?...
