Car Accident Checklist

Car accidents can be confusing, and making sure everyone is safe, and that all necessary information is gathered, can be difficult without guidance. The above web page contains an accident checklist that you might wish to print out and keep in your car. I adapted it from several sources. I think I'll buy a disposable camera to keep in my glove box, since I don't have a camera phone.

Warning labels (funny@work)

Some time ago at work someone pasted a bright yellow warning label on a large printer that says:
Warning: use caution when lifting
This made me sigh inside, because our safety culture is, some say, a bit out of hand at my workplace... and who lifts printers anyway? Especially ones the size of some smart cars? Do we *really* need to clutter the grey matter with such obvious warnings?
Anyway, being possessed of a label printer and some free time, I made the following stickers, which were placed around the original:

• Caution: paper cut risk
• Do not divide this device by zero
• If this printer falls into molten lava, just let it go, man
• Do not pour water on this device and then hug it
• This object contains matter, and may be dangerous if converted to its equivalent of energy
• Caution: do not eat printer
• Alert: may contain rabid chipmunks
• Warning: if gravity fails, this device will have no weight, but will still have the same mass

I decided to chronicle the labels here, as some of our safety people are moving into our office bay soon, and I suspect the printer may get cleaned up.
