It does actually say boiling water. I'm curious as to what the kanji is just before の中に is - it's too low resolution to tell for sure. It may be
柵 【さく】 fence; paling; (P)

Translation :

'Danger: Beware boiling water. Please do not enter [fenced-off] area.'

EDIT: I suggest questions like this are best put to the Japanese language forum of JREF as people learning Japanese may not always check the General Forum.

Yeah, alot of these are just jokes and edited, but maybe not I seen a lot of Engrish signs in Japan.. But mainly on peoples t-shirts, you would be amazed at how funny it is seeing old people with like fcuk "who wants to ride next" and stuff on their shirts, and do not even know what it says lol. Also teens are quite funny as well look at some people in Yoyogi Park or Harajuku... Crazy.

Indeed - Engrish t-shirts are very popular
I've posted my favorite in the Funny pictures thread already:

The Japanese says "Beware of Very Hot Water. Do not go into the Pond"

The English sign is probably more effective in stopping wise guys from thinking "Hey, it can't be THAT hot."

Oh yeah? Where does it say 'pond' ?
