What the...?

If you've ever been to the hell that is Ikea in Birstall and bought something, then you'll be aware of the odd instructions that the Swedes foist upon us. That's nothing though. What's all this about?



I've no idea either, but it scares the man-juice out of me.

There's far more of that sort of culturally confused nonsense over at the Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness; a site devoted to the oddness that masquerades as instruction. Quite the giggle. The Exploding Rat That Helped Win The War is a particular favourite of mine.

It's obvious: if you're storing babies in this container, be sure to seal the lid.

Being Swedish, this stuff is obvious to me.

Don't boil the baby.

any fool can see that the baby is too big for the container...do not overstuff baby containers!
