anything can be dangerous in the wrong hands :shock:
like on a starbucks cup "the liquid inside is hot" ffs
Lots of things are dangerous in the wrong hands and by god I m still looking for the wrong hands
I was in the National Gallery in Cardiff last week and in the shop was a shild's dressing up roman helmet made of a soft foamy type stuff, the label on the inside said 'Caution. Do Not Misuse'
You'd be amazed what people can injure themselves with... there's an absolutely hilarious column by Bill Bryson about this in 'Notes from a Big Country', statistics on how many Americans a year are injured by different things (and the numbers refer to injuries so severe they require emergency room treatment... :shock: ) Every year in the US:
more than 400,00 people suffer injuries involving beds, mattresses or pillows. ('My point in raising this is not to suggest that Americans are more inept than the rest of the world when it comes to lying down for the night (thought clearly there are thousands who could do with additional training)......')
more than 50,000 people are injured by pencils, pens and other desk accessories
400,000 people are injured by chairs, sofas and sofa beds ('the number of chair, sofa and sofa-bed injuries showed an increase of 3,000 over previous years, which is quite a worrying trend even for those of us who are frankly fearless with regard to soft furninishings')
142,000 injured by their clothing
Paper money and coins - 30, 274. ('I can just about conceive how you might swallow a dime and then wish you hadn't ('You guys want to see a neat trick?') but I cannot for the life of me construct hypothetical circumstances involving folding money and a subsequent trip to the ER.')
So you have to have a bit of sympathy for whoever puts these stupid warnings on things - maybe some of us need them!
need to do a survey to see if the products carrying the warnings are imported from
other countries like the usa
