Yeah, that section is great, they also have a thingy that makes the page of a URL converted to a certain dialect, link in my sig.

"Do not iron clothes on body." -- On packaging for a Rowenta iron.

Sounds silly, but I've heard quite a few story about people burning themselves this way.

The sad thing is that I can actually see myself doing this.

[Leafsnail]

To be fair, it does seem like quite a cool thing to do.

Until you burn yourself.

Nah, it'd be like those days where I'm like: "Sun is super-bright!  Wear a hat!" and then don't realize that sun shining during the summer implies heat, so I walk outside in two sweaters.

So I'd go "Gah, no time!  No time!  Must iron clothing!  Oh crap, iron implies heat and my legs are gone!"

I knew a guy in college who would iron his clothes in the air.  As in, hold them up with one hand and rub the iron over them with the other, then put the clothes on while they settle.  I can easily imagine some incredibly harried sarariman trying to very gingerly iron his trousers without taking them off.

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

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

When hit with a hockey stick by a dumbshit trying to use it as a baseball it does... Also creates discomfort for anyone attempting to drunkenly lie on the ground and stare at the sky. I have seen this first hand.

[Lord Shonus]

Dpending on the kind of frisbee, it very well may have small parts. A lot of frisbees have rubber insertsfor grip, or little sirens, etc.

Another one I can't verify but appears in several books here is that we apparently passed a bill that would ban the firing of artillery directly across church grounds located on the later half of the trajectory if the gunner was not enlisted in the dutch army.

Since I doubt there's any private artillery pieces in Netherlands, this must only apply to invading armies. Ain't no defence like legal defence, I guess.

DANGER: DO NOT DRINK.

On a bottle of lamp oil. Strangely enough, I thought it was baby oil at first .

It is illegal to wake a fireman when he is asleep.

What if there is a fire?

Then he's not on duty to go put the fire out, probably, and needs his sleep so that he can be on duty.

[Leafsnail]

Firemen can be asleep when "on duty" though, can't they?

[Vector]

Firemen can be asleep when "on duty" though, can't they?

Hmm... I wouldn't know.  I'm just sort of expecting it to be a bit like the airline pilot thing.

[Leafsnail]

Well, I've had dinner with an "on call" vet... eh, dunno really.  I can sortof see the logic of the law, though (don't deprive firemen of sleep?).  Although doesn't that mean they're always late for work ?
