However, we would like to point the readers to the five characters below OSUKE:

The phrase has virtually no meaning in either Chinese or Japanese. But, using our handy-dandy Decoder Card for Gibberish English-Chinese Tattoo font, guess what 行迎友先天 corresponds?
OSUKE
After reading the product's name is complete gibberish, would anyone pay US$37.95 for a bottle of this supplement?

Funeral of Skif
In last night's episode of CSI NY titled "It Happened to Me", there was one scene where detectives were trying to figure out what killed their victims. At first, they thought the cause was these illegally imported insecticide chalk from China found in victim's apartment.
(Spoiler alert: No, it was not the insecticide chalk. Victim mismanaged killer's investment fund and lost all his money. Killer's wife had access to chemical from her work, and killer dumped it into victim's orange juice.)
One would assume three lines of Chinese text on the packaging below "kills cockroach and ants effectively. keep away from baby and old man" are the same information in Chinese.
That is not true. Matter of fact, they are just gibberish.
If one would look closely, the first line of text and third line are identical. Last three characters in second line are repeat of first three.
So what do they mean?
Line 1 and 3 are:
精神和奠酒酒吧
精神和奠酒 loosely translates as "spirit and libation" and 酒吧 is "bar".
Line 2 is:
新鮮的肉新鮮的
新鮮的肉 is "fresh meat" and 新鮮的 is "fresh".
What do "fresh meat" and "bar of spirit and libation" got to do with insecticide chalk?
Can everyone say CSI NY show prop fail?

New contract killing in Moscow
Russian-Israeli businessman Shabtai von Kalmanovich was shot dead in central Moscow on Monday, bringing an end to a colorful life that had seen a flirtation with showbiz and a conviction for spying.Unidentified assailants armed with a 9mm automatic and a pump-action shotgun opened fire at fifty-nine-year-old Kalmanovich as he sat in his black Mercedes S500 on Moscow's Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment at about 4:50 p.m. Moscow time (1:50 GMT).
Kalmanovich died instantly and his driver, who initially tried to give chase, was forced to pull over outside the capital's 16th century Novodevichy Convent due to serious injuries.
Investigators have said the attack bears all the hallmarks of a contract killing. They have also not ruled out that the murder was linked to Kalmanovich's business activities.
Born in 1949 in Soviet Lithuania, Kalmanovich left the U.S.S.R. with his family for Israel in 1972, where he graduated from Jerusalem University. In 1988, he was sentenced to nine years in jail for spying for the Soviet Union, but released in 1993.
He then left Israel and returned to Moscow, quickly finding his way in the chaotic dawn of post-Soviet capitalism. One of his business partners in the 1990s was reported to be Iosif Kobzon, the wildly popular Soviet-era singer and member of Russia's lower house of parliament. In 1995, Kobzon was refused entry to the U.S. due to concerns over alleged mafia links.
Kalmanovich, who denied in a 2008 Los Angeles Times interview links to the diamond industry, was also involved in organizing Moscow concerts by Michael Jackson, Tom Jones,Liza Minnelli and Jose Carreras. Media reports even alleged a romantic involvement with Minnelli.
In the years before his death he had pumped large amounts of money into the Spartak - Moscow Region women's basketball team, playing U.S. sportswomen high wages to attract them to Russia. His policy paid off, and the club has been the Women's European League Champion for the last three years. Two weeks ago the club won the European Super Cup after beating Euro Cup Champions Galatasaray.
