apparently they had to reprint a version of the King James Bible, first published in 1611as they had put ,thou shalt kill, as one of the 10 commandments.
any gaffes or funny translations or things like that appreciated too.

Not in a book, but about a book. I saw an advert once for a book signing by Noel Edmonds. It invited us to come and have a boob signed by Noel Edmonds.
The mind boggles, doesn't it?

When I lived in Brunei there was a report in the Borneo Bulletin, which went something like "A man was tried for indecent assault today in the Court of Apples. The woman alleged that he touched her breasts and thing."

not sure if it's a misprint, it must have been done on purpose; if you ever get the chance, checkout the 'chinese propaganda posters' book, it's a big thick paper-back from taschen. have a flick through and you'll find someone has 'adulterated' one of the big colourful double page images of cherubic babies sitting in a garden. made me and my buds laugh!

One of my colleagues at work frequently gets her words mixed up.
One day she told me that there had been a big grey bird on her roof the day before. I asked her if it was a heron and she said she didn't think that was what her son had told her.
The next day she said to me "You were right, it was a herring".

In the Death notices of my local paper one moving tribute read as "Beloved C*nt"
I believe it was supposed to read "Beloved Aunt"

A newspaper in Lanarkshire printed an advert saying "DRUNK DRIVER REQUIRED" a few years ago.
Apparently it was supposed to have read "truck driver".
