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).)
