It took me a moment to get this one, then I rolled my eyes and groaned. I love a good pun. :roll: :laugh:

It's now past the first devil's hour of 06.06.06 on the east coast US, nothing biblical yet. Woot.

Yay a Chinese dragon, I love those! But Xing's font looks more Greek than Chinese to me, really.

Well, a genuine Chinese font wouldn't be legible to English speakers, would it?

I couldn't tell at first if that was an X or a K. I must have been thinking of the Thai dish Pad King.

I actually modified the X's because they looked too much like K's, then uploaded the earlier version by mistake. Fixed now.

I roll my eyes at the pun, but it is 'punny'. *collective groan*

I think I missed the pun. Which is unusual for me.

Edit: Nevermind. I get it. Tis funny and good.

Ped Xing is used commonly in the US for crosswalks. So, therein lies the pun. And the monk got hit in the crosswalk.

Ach! I knew "Ped Xing" was familiar somehow.

I rather like traffic signs. "No Hazmats" always sounded vaguely Yiddish to me. And did you ever notice how the "Don't Walk" signs leave out the apostrophe? What are we to do, walk on our teeth?

The municipality of Amsterdam recently introduced this one:

Ofcourse, the next day it was stolen by collectors :smile:

When I first saw the name "Ped Xing" I thouhgt, "Dave the Barbarian" from that poet. Glad I was wrong.

I realized the "Xing=crossing=sign" bit at first, but I didn't see where Ped came in. I've never seen a sign that says "Ped Xing". I guess it stands for pedestrian?

I bet this would have been hilarious had I not thought about it so much...
