A Collection of Very Strange Technical Documentation

"Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness"

With graphics of bizarre documentation, like:

"Ambidextrous Knife
"Apparently from instructions for a left-handed kitchen knife. It's odd, then, that it's a right hand in the picture. (From--also ironically--Dirk)"

"Bathroom Advice
" 'No leaves in the toilet, no swan dives off of it.' (Thanks, Anne)"

A word of caution: some of the humor is mildly risqué. And brings up an interesting question: what were the people who designed these (real) signs thinking?! Like this sign in a Japanese subway: "Confusing japanese subway signs" College Humor (March 9, 2004). This one is risqué, and genuinely funny.

(If this looks familiar, it should: This is one of the websites mentioned in a previous post, "Ten Really Odd Websites" (March 25, 2008).)

Today's News! Some of it, anyway

Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
