Topico das Gaffes

Tirei isto do Wikipédia, sei que a humidade pode ser superior a 100% (sem estar dentro de água), isto é, humidade relativa de 110% significa que está a chover!

Humidade do ar - Pode ser considerada em números absolutos (g/m³) ou relativamente ao seu ponto de saturação, ou seja, à capacidade máxima da atmosfera em reter a humidade. Portanto, humidade relativa de 60% quer dizer que faltam 40% para atingir a capacidade de retenção total de vapor de água no ar e começar a chover. Quando o vapor d'água da atmosfera atinge seu ponto de saturação, ocorrem as precipitações, que podem se apresentar sob várias formas (chuva, granizo, neve)
 
Humidade absoluta (HA)- massa de vapor de água existente num metro cúbico de ar.

Ponto de Saturação (PS) - quantidade máxima de vapor de água que o ar pode conter, a uma determinada temperatura.

Humidade relativa (HR) - é a relação entre a quantidade de vapor de água existente num volume de ar (Humidade Absoluta - HA) e a quantidade máxima de vapor de água que esse volume pode conter (Ponto de Saturação - PS)

HR= HA/PS * 100

Como HA <= PS <=> 0 <= HR <= 100 (porque o volume de ar não pode conter mais vapor de água que a quantidade máxima vapor de água que esse volume pode conter)
 
Pois, talvez tenham razão, tinha mesmo a ideia de que era possível... [:D]

De qualquer maneira, muita gente recebe e envia supostas gafes quando são frases que fazem todo o sentido.[;)]

Bem, nem de propósito, dei hoje com este site por acaso, e que está
demais (em Inglês, ler com atenção):



American Airlines - On an American Airlines packet of nuts - INSTRUCTIONS - OPEN PACKET, EAT NUTS.
Bacardi - Bacardi concocted a fruity drink with the name 'Pavian' to suggest French chic ... but 'Pavian' means 'baboon' in German.
Boots - On the label of Boot's "Children's" cough medicine - DO NOT DRIVE A CAR OR OPERATE MACHINERY.
Braniff - When Braniff translated a slogan touting its upholstery, "Fly in leather," it came out in Spanish as "Fly naked."
Clairol - A hair products company, Clairol, introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that mist is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the manure stick.
Coca Cola - When Coca Cola was first introduced into China they named it Ke-Kou-Ke-La. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect.
Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent: Ko-Kou-Ko-Le, which can be roughly translated as "happiness in the mouth." (have you seen what it can do to teeth?).
In some countries, on the bottom of Coke bottles it says "OPEN OTHER END."
Colgate - Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine.
Coors - Coors the American brewer lost its fizz in Spain when their hip phrase "Turn It Loose" came out as "Get Diarrhea".
Dairy Association - The American Dairy Association's huge success with its campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention that the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?"
Electrolux - Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American ad campaign: Nothing sucks like an Electrolux. But in America if something 'sucks' it means it is really bad.
Ford - Ford seemed to have a problem in Brazil where sales of the Pinto flopped. On investigation the company found out that Pinto was Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals." Ford pried the nameplates off and substituted Corcel, which means "horse."
Fritos - On a packet of Fritos crisps - YOU COULD BE A WINNER! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. DETAILS INSIDE.
General Motors - "Body by Fisher", boasted the auto giant General Motors. "Corpse by Fisher" was how the Belgians read it.
General Motors - When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to the Caribe.
Gerber - When Gerber first started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the USA -- with a cute baby on the label. Later they found out that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what is inside since many people cannot read!
Kentucky Fried Chicken - In Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan "finger-lickin' good" came out as "eat your fingers off."
Marks and Spencer Label on a Marks & Spencer's Bread Pudding - PRODUCT WILL BE HOT AFTER HEATING.
Nytol - On the label of their sleeping aid - WARNING MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS.
Otis Engineering - When Otis Engineering took part in an exhibition in Moscow, a translator somehow managed to render a "completion equipment" sign into "equipment for orgasms".
Parker Pens - Parker Pens translated the slogan for its ink, "Avoid Embarassment - Use Quink" into Spanish as "Evite Embarazos - Use Quink" ... which also means "Avoid Pregnancy - Use Quink."
Parker Pens - When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say "It won't leak in your pocket and embarass you." However, the company mistakenly thought the spanish word embarazar meant "embarass." Instead, the ads said that "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!"
Pepsi - Not to be outdone by Coke when Pepsi started a marketing campaign in Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."
Puff - Puffs tissues another US company tried to introduce its product, only to learn that "Puff" in German is a colloquial term for a whorehouse. The English weren't too fond of the name either, as it's a highly derogatory term for a homosexual.
Purdue - Chicken-man Frank Purdue's slogan, "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," got badly mangled in a Spanish translation. A photo of Purdue with one of his birds appeared on billboards all over Mexico with a caption that translated as "It takes a hard man to make a chicken affectionate."
Rowenta - On packaging for a Rowenta iron - DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY.
Sainsbury - On a packet of their peanuts - WARNING - CONTAINS NUTS.
Schweppes Tonic Water - In Italy, a compaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water!
Sears - On a Sears hairdryer - DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING.
Sharwoods - When Sharwoods launched its latest product range in the UK earlier this month, it promised the "deliciously rich" sauces based on a traditional northern Indian method of cooking would "change the way consumers make curry". So confident was Sharwoods that its new 'Bundh' sauces would be a hit that it backed the launch with a huge £6 million ($14.2 million) television advertising campaign.
What it failed to foresee was that "bundh" in Punjabi has an altogether less savoury meaning - the nearest English translation being, to put it bluntly, "arse".
Sunmaid - On a packet of Sunmaid raisins - WHY NOT TRY TOSSING OVER YOUR FAVOURITE BREAKFAST CEREAL?
Swann - On a Swann frozen dinner - "Serving suggestion: Defrost." SweetcornJolly Green Giant translated into Arabic means "Intimidating Green Ogre." TescoOn Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of the box) - DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.
Vicks - When Vicks first introduce its cough drops on the German market, they were chagrined to learn that the German pronunciation of "v" is "f," which in German is the guttural equivalent of "sexual penetration."

MISCELLANEOUS:

  • A company marketed a new remedy in the United Arab Emirates. To avoid any mistakes they used pictures. The first picture was of someone ill, the next picture showed the person taking the medication, the last picture showed them looking well. What they forgot is that in the Arab world people read from right to left! An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market that promoted a visit by Pope John Paul II. Instead of "I saw the Pope (el Papa)", the shirts read "I saw the potato (la papa)".
  • In his entertaining book Native tongues (London: Panther Books, 1984), Charles Berlitz relates an incident involving Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Krushchev when he visited the USA and the UN. During an interview on US television, the interviewer using an idiom to indicate that he thought the Soviet leader's statements were not logical, said that Krushchev was 'barking up the wrong tree.' Krushchev's interpreter had some difficulty finding an equivalent Russian expression and told Krushchev that the interviewer had said he was 'baying like a hound.' Krushchev was not amused, and quite a bit of explanation was needed before the misunderstanding was cleared up and the Soviet leader regained his calm.
  • Ex Chancellor Helmut Kohl was famous for his mediocre English. Rumour has it that he once addressed Magaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister, with the words: "You can say you to me".
