Indiana Jones and the course of the countdown banner
-
Today I've found in our main page a banner for the wold launch of Indiana Jones IV.
WTF #1: It's a countdown, but nobody around here has seen it before today, which is the 0:00:00:00 day.
WTF #2: The countdown is totally screwed, showing negative values for the day, the hour, the minute and the second, and doesn't even match 00:00 in our timezone.
The banner is in Spanish but I'm sure you can figure out.

the true WTF is that the image isn't working

it is working now (still using firefox)

The Real WTF is somebody using tags as they were intended.

WTF #3: The translated title is "Calavera de cristal" but the actual crystal skull artifacts that inspired the movie are called (according to wikipedia) "Cráneo de cristal" in spanish

Probably because "cráneo" would be an actual skull (the word is used in medical text) whereas "calavera" is a representation of a skull. So, in the context of a "crystal skull", calavera is the correct word to use. Therefore, the translation is not a WTF.
