General Warnings

Ok people. Humanity is more intelligent than this. I have made a list of general warnings for all stupid lawsuits. First of all, there is this: WARNING! By reading this post you, the reader, acknowledge that the world is not responsible for your stupidity, ignorance, or lack of a cerebral cortex. Furthermore, you, the reader, agree that you will not sue said world for damages resulting from the aforementioned stupidity.
Here they are: the things we have forgotten.
Knives are sharp.
Fire is hot.
Steaming coffee is hot, too.
Cars go fast (Large, fast moving objects have a hard time stopping when people quickly step in front of them, even if they were made by Toyota).
Falling hurts.
Falling on rusty farm equipment hurts more.
Throwing yourself at rusty farm equipment to get money hurts most.
"Cruise control" does not mean the car steers itself.
Dogs usually become aggressive when beaten, though not always, so keep trying.
High voltage electricity can do damage to the human body (unless it is extremely high voltage, but low current, in which case you are saved by the skin effect. Unfortunately, most household appliances do not run on millions of volts).
Ice is slippery
Snow is slippery too
Both ice and snow are available in abundance in northern areas, and there is no way all the ice and all the snow can be cleaned up, because contrary to popular opinion, there ARE people who live in Canada, so we can't put it there.
