No, this is not a 'minimalist' posting. I just had a right good chuckle when 
I read this on the BBC News, and thought everyone else might like it too.

====================
Tourism officials in Israel did little to sell the city of Jerusalem as a 
must-see for visitors when a brochure suggested it did not exist. 
The sightseeing pamphlet was translated from Hebrew and should have read: 
"Jerusalem - there's no city like it!". 
But instead the slogan in English read: "Jerusalem - there's no such city!", 
reported the Israeli newspaper Maariv. 
Tens of thousands of the leaflets were distributed before the Jerusalem 
municipality realised its mistake.
