lol at the last two examples. It's like that Ministry of Crap Design that Ben Elton used to love going on about (in his funny stand-up days).

I know this is slighty off the topic but 'Human Error' is so often the cause of major disasters, I thought it deserved a mention. Do you think human beings are only species to 'Devolve'? ie. become more stupid.

[Sjax]

I understand that someone really, really stupid person would try to stop a chainsaw with his hands. But with his genitals?!?
Too funny http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's the same thing with all those cartons of like pineapple juice. They get me in trouble all the time. It says: OPEN HERE. But when I open them on the spot, some angry employee is yelling at me angrily right away. I just can't understand it.... http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/wink.gif http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/wink.gif http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/wink.gif

Welcome Zany

I know what you mean Phreak. I picked up a package of what had four rolls of tape on it and on the back it has a coupon that says $1 off, use now. So I tore the coupon off which also destroyed the package that the tape was in so I had loose tape at the checkout.

... That reminds me of this site where all the stupidest desighs in the worls were photographed and indexed... you should have seen the one where a sink for washing your hands looked too much like a urinal and someone had taped a tape to it saying: 'this is not a urinal' can you spell "STUPID"?

why can't I remember the adress,?...
I'll look it up in one of the computermagasines I got here, it's somewhere in there

SQUARE RULES!!!!!

WEIRD AL YANCOVIC RULES!!!

WHAT WOULD LIFE BE WITHOUT RPG's?????

RPG-LESS OF COURSE...WE CAN'T HAVE THAT...

[Phreakmeister]

That reminds me of my work. We had like a row of urinals. The board had like taped a message to the wall above 1 urinal, saying "After use, flush toilet". Someone with a sense of humour wrote below it, next to an arrow pointing at another urinal, "This one too".........
God where did they get their sense of humour from........

[Phreakmeister]

BTW, wouldn't that be an idea for another site? After Dumb Facts, Dumb Laws, Dumb Warnings and Dumb Criminals now Dumb Signs.

You know what the real sad part is Idnew? People have actually DONE that stuff and that is why they HAVE to put those warnings on there! http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/eek.gif http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

What a bunch of dumb@sses we have all become.

[little_army_babe]

and just think the smarter we get the dumber we get (if anyone understands that)

[aclu14]

That's perfectly understandable! The more knowledge we accumulate, the more sense we forget!!

WARNING: Remove egg from shell before eating.

WARNING: Just say no to over easy.

WARNING: The Surgeon General has determined that you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

And probably the most useful one, from the perspective of the Washington, DC crowd, said Winter:


WARNING: Don't throw these eggs at the bureaucrats and politicians who think Americans are too dumb to fry an egg.

This really makes you wonder if someone has tried to stop the chain with his genitals before they added the warning...
