Warming up dry cells in an ordinary oven was a way of coaxing some more life out of them. So I'd guess Chinese whispers resulted in a modern version. -- *Happiness is seeing your mother-in-law on a milk carton Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Wife bought Miniature (Patio) Rose in a pot yesterday.
Label said "Not for Human consumption". I suppose I'll have to feed it to the slugs then.... -- OlavM Overlooking the Clyde where it meets the Sea "The Medway Handyman" wrote in message ...

Of all the countless things people could - but should not - do with them, they select two plain-as-a-pikestaff-to-anyone-with-a-brain examples to specifically warn about? Within the confines of an ordinary kitchen - place on a red hot cooker ring, put into waste disposal unit, try to burn in an Aga (after all, di-lithium is carbon...). Agreed about why, but the ludicrous (and foreseeable) consequence is that people to not take heed of any important, sensible warnings about anything. -- Rod |

Do they have the obligatory little Japanese man doing it with an X across it
or some cartoon explosion afterwards. I used to enjoy Hitachi instruction books as they obviousluy had a sense of humour.

I managed to wash and dry an ipod a few weeks ago after it was left in a pocket. It looks clean now, but doesn't work. ;) No explosion, though... |
