    I didn't read them all, but I remember a good one that I saw once on the bottom of a drinks bottles with "Open other side".

    Good god, if we really need all those warnings, we are really in trouble as a race.

    Please tell me they're only for extremely stupid people.

    It'd be quicker if we made them wear signs, then we'd know not to sell them that stuff without proper supervision.
