I found this recent BYU police beat amusing:

Nov. 10: Students in Foreign Language Student Residence called in a fire in their apartment. One student ran the automatic cleaning cycle on the oven without realizing that another had left a rag in the oven. The apartment received only minor smoke damage.

Do you know how to say, “Don’t turn on the oven clean cycle, I left a rag in the oven!” in Chinese?  I doubt that these foreign language learners did either.
