Jim Carrey at 50: His funniest moments Jim Carrey is 50 today

According to the map we've only gone 


four inches.' An infamous quote there 


from 1990s epic Dumb And Dumber, in 


which Jim Carrey made his mark as a 


funny man of the future.



Today, Jim celebrates his 50th birthday


 and his career has certainly moved more


 than four inches since his Dumb And


 Dumber days. A movie icon of the 


1990s, Carrey has been featured in over 


37 films (that rubbery face has put in a 


lot of work) and smashed the box office


 on numerous occasions. We've taken a 


look back at his brilliant career 


highlights.

What happens when translations go awry?

All abuzz over ‘Ethical Clothing’.


Some extracts to make you smile:

“Clothes that poke eye” is a literal


 translation of pakaian yang menjolok 


mata, which is supposed to mean


 revealing clothes in Bahasa Malaysia.


 Other finds included: “collared shirts 


and tight Malay civet berbutang three”, 


which, in Malay, is berkolar baju 


Melayu cekak musang berbutang tiga.



Baju batik lengan panjang berkolar / 


cekak musang buatan Malaysia


meanwhile is translated as “long-sleeve 


batik shirt with collar / mongoose fight 


made in Malaysia”.
There was also “shine closed”, which 


was translated from kasut bertutup,or 


closed-toe shoes.
