Default Can anyone translate this?

Weird and interesting find, I found this paper inside of a burning candle. Candle was burning, and I noticed some extra flames popping up, took a look, and I was able to pull this out of the middle of it. Curious to know what it says! anyone here able to translate this at all?

Bit of a blurry image, but this is the best I was able to get.

Spoiler tag for size.

Spoiler!

It doesn't look Arabic. Or Kurdish.

But I could be wrong. Maybe Farsi? Or Urdu?

Candle Ingredients:

- Asbestos
- Strychnine
- plutonium 238

Do not handle with bare hands or ingest fumes. Fatal if used after 14/3/12.

Your welcome OP.

I did a search for 14-3-12 and this grisly Bible passage comes up:

Ok, here's my best attempt at reproducing the main line in the message using characters from the Thai Alphabet

าวไชสามารกรีขไค

Feeding this into Google Translate gives:

China Green payment plan with the chi.

Maybe someone can improve on my Thai text attempt?

Was speculating it was Thai as well, but couldn't find anyone that spoke it fluently to help out.

I'm assuming the number at the bottom is a date: March 14 2012

Possible! I suppose if I mentioned the date, I should have mentioned that it was purchases prior to December. But that doesn't really rule our that possibility though.

Could be a best before/sell by date. Do candles have those?

If you have any correlation between yourself and John the Baptist, it would be a little freaky.

It's Thai for sure.
I sent the image to my Thai friend who lives in Bangkok and she replied:
"It's Thai but the first line a bit missing then im not sure what the 2nd line triing to say"

Good luck!!

My Thai friend got back to me again...

Quote:
trying to read again
first line : after checking the result is electrodes + is black
2nd line : can't get the white spot

555 i try to translate seems like a note about elctronic stuff
Side note, and random useless trivia:
Did you know that 555 is the Thai equivalent to our LOL?
5 is Thai is pronounced "ha" and they use 555 instead of LOL

Awesome, thanks for the follow up! If it's that technical, that'd explain why it'd be difficult to translate.
