Well would YOU like to try and put out a fire using a hydrant with an alligator tied to it?
Have you ever been to Michigan?

Hint: All our alligators are in the zoo.
Don't believe him. He's just trying to lure you into a false sense of security so he can feed you to Michigan's wild alligators.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Absolutely not. It's the Michigan Walking Sharks you need to worry about.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Most of those go from mystifying to terrifying if you try to imagine such a warning being needed.

My favorites:

"Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw the mouse at co-workers." -- From a manual for an SGI computer.
"Warning! This is not underwear! Do not attempt to put in pants." -- On the packaging for a wristwatch
"In case of flood, proceed uphill. In case of flash flood, proceed uphill quickly." -- One of the emergency safety procedures at a summer camp.
"Ingredients: Artificially bleached flour, sugar, vegetable fat, yeast, salt, gluten, soya flour, emulsifier 472 (E) & 481, flour treatment agents, enzymes, water. May contain: fruit." -- The ingredients list on a package of fruit buns.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

There's a kosher sign on my deodorant, it also says "Flammable!" and "Do not eat!" right under that. Silly rabbis.

"Warning! This is not underwear! Do not attempt to put in pants." -- On the packaging for a wristwatch

Maybe a mangled translation?

"Serving suggestion: Defrost." -- On a Swann frozen dinner.

Maybe it refers to the microwave setting? Might make sense if we knew what the entre was. Otherwise wierd....


"Take one capsule by mouth three times daily until gone." -- On a box of pills.

This one actually makes sense when you consider that if you don't take the entire dose of an antibiotic, it might not kill all of the bacteria. Which is how drug resistant bacteria develop. All it takes is one or a handful of survivors.


"Warning: May contain small parts." -- On a frisbee.

Huh? Frisbees don't have any rings or whatever sticking out, ruins the aerodynamics anyway.

Man, I'm reading the Computer Stupidities section of that.

Back in the mid-eighties, the high school I went to had just purchased a handful of 8086s along with some basic hardware -- at that time these things still were horribly expensive. A few weeks later, the computer lab was broken into and some of the hardware stolen. But the computers themselves had been left untouched: only the monitors and keyboards were gone. Apparently, the only computers the thieves had known were C64s or Apple II's, where the computer and keyboard are part of the same unit. Imagine the frustration when these guys tried to get the stolen machines to work!
