Funny signs, graffiti etc. ?

Is that their translation for alternating current? :)

Google says it translates as "strong and weak current room" (similar to the sign) so I guess we need someone who actually understands Chinese.. Maybe it is warning of low and high powered devices but I found the apparent contradiction amusing.

EDIT: On reflection I wonder if "strong" could mean "very" such as "very weak current room". Just a wild stab in the dark...

My guess is it means that this room has the transformer, i.e. there is high voltage (say 11kV) and "low" voltage (230/400V). I'm guessing that their writing system where one or two characters represents a whole word or concept contributes to the typically poor quality of Chinese manuals. A simple translation without considering context seems to lead to almost comical mistranslations.

I always smile at the Belted Galloway signs when in Galloway.
 
Not comedic or funny per se, (soz @salty) but I have lived near this town for the last 5 years and never noticed this sign!

I have Definitely not seen one of them here!

Doesn't have to be funny, Chris, just odd will do. And that's definitely odd. ?
The weather vanes? a bit strange too.
You sure that's not the Twilight Zone?

Nice new painting on the pub round the corner though!

Love the geezers Top Hat ? tribute!
He was the newest apprentice! Definitely not allowed anywhere near anything dangerous. I went and got them a box of pies, snag rolls and coffees for ‘smoko’ break. As is tradition the sparkies pulled rank and grabbed all the good stuff ?
