"Translation error leaves Norway Olympic team with 15,000 eggs" by Ariel Scotti

They say, someone "scrambled their egg order." But the grocery store took the egg-stras back, so there was minimal egg on anyone's face at the end of the day. This is why translators eggspend so much energy trying to get the translation just right. People are advised not to yolk themselves to Google Translate. I guess this is the opposite of bringing only a few loaves or fishes when the order was supposed to be for 5,000. I doubt any MAP reader doesn't like to keep track of funny results from translation mistakes.
