Any more evidence needed that the human race is doomed can be found at the Darwin Awards. Although that really celebrates the strengthening of the gene pool doesn't it?

Isn't there something on US Army water bottles (and maybe UK ones too...can't remember) about not cooking in them with naked flames? ? ?

Written on a packet of Peanuts served on board Aircraft.

"Warning !! May contain Nuts"

:shock:

 

[jakunen]

My favourites inclued the warning INSIDE a computer box saying not to open the box until the unit has sat for 24hrs to acclimatise...

A Japanese chef's knife set saying 'Not suitable for the stabbing of children', presumably its ok to use them to slice them up though...

And my personal favourite, on the bottom of juice cartons saying 'do not invert carton when open'...

A few that come to mind:

Instructions on a packet of cookies on BA: open bag, eat contents.

And warning message on a TESCOs bag of roasted peanuts: warning, this product may contain nuts.

Instructions on a packet of nuts on a British airways flight to the US: open bag, eat contents.

And off course there's the classic 'Do not place pets or infants in microwave to warm or dry them'

'Do not place pets or infants in microwave to warm or dry them'

[beachlover]

Should we merge this thread with the "do not use knives in the dark"..."Do not use knives when drunk" thread?

 

[jakunen]

Ok...Damn! I can't beat that one!!!):

Nope, couldn;t find it just abotu 40,000 people who use it as a username and the 'socks' episode...

...So I bought some socks today.

They came in a ziploc bag that proudly boasted that it is, indeed, resealable.

Good thing. Wouldn't want 'em to get stale.

one of my fav signs this was on an boeing 747 "No smoking, poeple who smoke will be asked to step outside." :rolmao:

Hold stick near centre of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.

Emma is indeed one of us.

Either that or she's looking this stuff up just to impress me (if so it's working)

Admittedly I did have to look it up, but I knew exactly where in the book to look. Always been a HitchHiker fan. And collecter of useless facts.

hear the one about the night watch man who stuck a pan in that bit of the microwave that makes it think the door is closed and fell asleep in front of it keeping warm!
