Today I saw the silliest instruction sheet I’ve seen in a long time. The instructions where inside of a new travel mug I got. Most of the items in the instructions are OK, although mostly unnecessary for anyone with 1/4 of a brain. But, some very odd warning items jumped out at me.

In the how to use section:
2. Do not look directly into product when filling, keep at arms length.
….
4. Your product should not be overfilled.

They can’t be serious, does it have a tendency to explode or what? Should I put on safety glasses before I fill it up. 😉 How else am I supposed to avoid over filling if I can’t look directly into the mug. Maybe they want me to use a mirror periscope while filling. 🙂

Then in the caution section I see:
4. Keep out of reach of children.

Huh, don’t let children near a travel mug, are they going to get locked inside?

Here’s the whole instruction sheet:

I have mixed feelings about a proposed Texas law from this months You Can’t Make This Stuff Up! column in Conformity Magazine.

I guess allowing blind Texans to hunt isn’t any more dangerous than allowing Vice President Cheney to hunt. 😉

Had a great laugh last night while catching up on blog reading. Rebecca of the Memoirs of a Skepchick blog started a little contest in response to A Correspondence she received. She challenges everyone to say what she has hidden in a lunch box in her apartment. The ensuing comments are entertaining but what made me nearly fall over laughing was a comment by Toolbox in Rebecca’s post So, what IS in my lunch box?.

A link in the latest EFF newsletter led me to a funny web site: Dear NSA. Check it out for a laugh.

I was made an April fool three times this year! First WBRU got me with an elaborate one covering three days, details here. Then my oldest niece (a true angel) got me and finally the EFF got me with a fake Action Alerts e-mail. Thank you all for making me laugh, I love a good prank even when it’s on me.
