Try the Aardvark

Submitted by: St Petersburg, Fl via Oddly Specific
Now, watch as I take away all your fun:
The armadillo in question is in Boyd Hill Nature Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. It’s an actual sculpture of a giant armadillo, and they don’t want you climbing on it.
See? Not so great when there’s no joke, is it?

Everyone knows that caffeine addicts crave human flesh once the sun goes down. That door is the only thing standing between those employees and being ground up with tomorrow’s house blend.
Note the Braille

Submitted by: Can’t remember via Oddly Specific
This one just seems cruel to me. I can’t read Braille, but I’m hoping they added something at the bottom for what to do about a broken nose.

I noticed the last line on that braille writing is a lawyer’s phone #. -Shep33
Roof Cleared?

Submitted by: Bulletinboard in Switzerland via Oddly Specific
Dach geräumt? Dächer rechtzeitig von Schnee und Eis räumen.
Translation:
Roof Cleared? Vacate roofs in time of snow and ice.
Don’t laugh! This totally happened on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
*Edit*
I don’t speak/read/understand German, so I just used the Google Translator. The correct translation is “Roof cleared? Clear snow and ice off roofs in a timely manner.” Thanks, TheCannyScot!
For more awful translations (none by me, however) check out Engrish Funny
*Edit.2*
According to Zedo Mann, who rushed to my translation’s defense, Google did just fine. So pick which ever version you prefer. But you should still totally check out Engrish Funny

The help desk at my university had this same sign posted. As such, I was always extra polite to the techs, just in case they were serious.
Something Has To Be Illegal In Nevada

Submitted by: US Highway 395 via Oddly Specific
This is one of those things I had to look up, just to make sure it was legit. Turns out, it totally is. It’s crayfish, not lobsters, but they’re still illegal to sell. But they have no problem with you going to a prostitute and getting crabs…how odd.

There are numerous Eddie Izzard jokes I could make here, so I’ll just let you fill in your own.
It is nice of them to tell you, though.

As someone originally from Michigan, I have no trouble at all believing this is in Detroit somewhere.
