So a few years back my Brother lived in Korea. While there, he came across many odd and wonderful things.
I found 3 of them the other day and scanned them in. They are postcards. He found these in Seoul.
You know how sometimes things don't translate well? You know how sometimes people don't even bother to double check their work?
The words were apparently translated from Korean to English by way of about 17 other languages and they enjoyed quite a few adventures along the way. And then no one who actually read English bothered to check them.
This kind of stuff just cracks me the hell up. These are also on my Flickr page with closeups of the text in case you still aren't convinced they are real - right down to the ones in the first postcard that aren't even real words.
Because they are hard to read I've also included the text for each one:

Sink deep into your heart my love,
put a thing between the leaves of a heart.

Though he don't come back to flow in
water somewhere stay by him
