    A real problem. I still love one that happened between the Russians and US. The translation was 'Invisible idiot.' What had been said was 'Out of sight, out of mind.' Heh.

    The alien was given the card to the agency that Agent 47 works for.

    IRL though, a garrote is just a snare, maybe used for fishing or string instrument; a Nekote is just a tool to move balls of hay; Bo shuriken is just a nail or a chopstick; there's a martial art dedicated in effectively using an oar; that's not to mention the all mighty all purpose Stick.
