What makes you enter an unfamiliar shop in a new city? An inviting window display? A big crowd (or lack thereof)? How about a funny sign like this Brooklyn shop, which advertises, "delicious free booze poured by a crazy French guy"? They had me at "delicious" and "free" wine; the French guy is just icing on the cake. It helps that the store looks cozy and friendly; the sign helps to show off ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Here on Gadling, we are suckers for weird signs. Especially when you travel, you come across signs that are just too damn funny. Writer Doug Lansky apparently feels the same way, because he just released the third episode of his "Signspotting" line of books.
We got a sneek peek at some of the signs included in "Lost and Loster in Translation", and they really are absolutely hilarious. ...Cool travel souvenir: Hotel door hangers

Much of my apartment is decorated with travel souvenirs. The ceramic wine carafe I bought in Cinque Terre sits on the bar. Pictures I found at the Buenos Aires San Telmo Sunday market line the wall. Postcards bought in Iceland are propped on the fireplace mantel. I love ...Austrian village installs cameras to nab prankster sex tourists
Jul 28th, 2009 at 12:00PM: The poor villagers of Fucking are fed up. They have finally found a technical solution to prevent thieves from stealing their village signs, but now they are confronted with an entirely different problem. Couples are making the trek to Fucking, just so they can have sex in front of the sign, and record it. Other pranksters are mooning the sign, or exposing themselves, while their friends record ...Weird sign of the week - what does this mean?
Jul 10th, 2009 at 1:30PM: This sign was probably designed by someone who hates Speedos. Other than that, my (not so) creative mind can't come up with a single other explanation what this weird sign is trying to tell us. What do you think it means? Leave your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to check out our other weird and wacky signs from around the world! ...Weird sign of the day - what does this mean?
Jun 19th, 2009 at 10:30AM: It's already the end of the week, so time for some more "fun with signs". I'm pretty sure I know what this sign means, but I'm also confident I know what it could mean. Feel free to let your imagination go wild and post in the comments what you think this ski resort is asking its guests not to do. ...Plane Answers: A pilot's seatbelt sign philosophy and aircraft accident odds
Jun 16th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Welcome to Gadling's feature, Plane Answers, where our resident airline pilot, Kent Wien, answers your questions about everything from takeoff to touchdown and beyond. Have a question of your own? Ask away! Caroline asks: Can someone tell me why the pilot sometimes turns on the seatbelt sign but it's seemingly for no reason? I recently flew Dubai to London and he (or she) kept putting it on ...Weird sign of the day - what does this mean?
Jun 15th, 2009 at 12:30PM: I'm not entirely sure where this sign was photographed, but I'm even less sure what it means. No exploding cars? No cars that run on combustion engines? Perhaps its a way to tell people that only hybrid cars are welcome? What do you think? Be creative and let us know in the comments what you think the sign means. ...Wacky sign of the week - what does this mean?
Jun 2nd, 2009 at 3:00PM: I've spent several minutes trying to figure out what the heck this sign means. I've narrowed it down to three possibilities:
Trespassers will be chased by an angry pair of scissors
Don't pee in the pond, "just cut it out"
Something crocodile or alligator related
What do you think this sign means? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below! ..."There is no bond stronger than the leaf between trams." Or something.
Jun 13th, 2007 at 3:16PM: Here's what I know about this sign:
The photo was snapped in Brussles.
It was taken near a tram stop.
It makes no sense.
Here's what I think it means:
There is no bond stronger than the leaf between trams.
When trams collide, their collision creates grapes.
Warning: birds with long, flowy wings can ride either tram.
Got something better?
Scratch your head some ...
