It says: "Beware! This is a very tricky maze."

First, it's up-side-down. It's also very difficult to figure out. I guess the character in the upper-left (bottom-right in the original) is 君 (gentleman / official). My native Chinese-speaking roommate thinks it's 居 (live / reside). We can't make heads or tails of the rest, though. Your best bet is to take it to a store which makes chops.

I agree with Zak... this is difficult to read and is certainly beyond my skill level.

Hi Zak, thanks for your efforts... I'll see if I can find a store. I guess it should look like this...

These guys felt that the world was round, but that we all lived inside of it rather than on the surface. Somebody read a little too much H.G. Wells. Like every other crack pot, they ended up in this section of FL. What is mind boggling is that so many of them were highly intelligent, highly skilled artisans, technicians, and over all well educated individuals. I guess folks will buy anything that someone is selling, as long as that someone says he is a messiah.
