I was once teaching an English lesson to some Thai kids and handed out a sheet of quiz questions in English that they would have to translate and find the answers. One of the questions was "Who is the Prime Minister of England?" I got some answers like Tony Bear and things which was quite funny but then got some that said things like "Priest" and "Jesus". I wondered how they ended up with these answers and realised that they had been looking up the "Minister" in the dictionary and so that was how they ended with a bunch of religious references. Shows how you have to be careful with dictionaries.
