you're not supposed to translate the text. hence the ignorance.

From another blog about this shirt:

I pretty sure that the whole shirt says

I prefer that i do not understand,
the unknown one is more captivating, fascinating,
Riddle to it is very interesting
show me something new

I personally think it means that it was easier to enjoy smoking when you didn't know it would kill you.

you ever see a poster in a foreign language and have no idea what it means but you love the way it looks? that's the point. if it turned out to be a poster for something lame you'd be disappointed.

The first sentence is in italian and means: I prefer what I don't Know.

The second one is in french and says: The unknow is more intersting.

You're not supposed to know what it means!

^ what do you mean?

berrynoir on Apr 15 '08 at 8:44am

If it is what does it mean? If it isn't what does it mean? Perhaps both, maybe neither. What do I mean by the word 'mean'? What do I mean by the word 'word'? What do I mean by 'what do I mean'? What do I mean by 'do' and what do I do by 'mean'? And what do I do by do by do and what do I mean by wasting your time like this? Good night.

I think maybe the Russian (third line) should mean "A riddle is very interesting", although I'm not 100% sure.

Hence:
I prefer that i do not understand,
The unknown one is more captivating, fascinating,
A riddle is very interesting ,
Show me something new.

I am Russian, and although it is misspelled, it says:

Puzzle/Riddle - what is very interesting (should probably have a question mark here ?)

And that is exactly what it says, but I don't know if that is what was meant...
If the purpose was to say which instead of what, there should have been used another word.

^^^
what = что
this is/it is/that is = это

It says "Riddle - IT IS very interesting."

It also should be "это" and not "зto" [zto], but it's not that noticeable.

Yeah, I was going to say they probably meant "это" instead of "зто" however, I highly doubt enough people speak/read russian that you'll be walking down the street and someone will correct your shirt.
