Sounds like a great new catagory of stupidity. How about the one that started it all: "Kids, don't try this at home." Maybe we need a class for disclaimers such as: Batteries not included. Action figures do not actually talk. Parts sold seperately. Caution; contains small parts that could become a choke hazard for children under three. Adult supervision required. Off road use only. Unleaded fuel only. I also love those child proof caps. I usually can't get them open, but my grand kids are always happy to open them for me. Howard
