This image is from Pittsburgh’s new TechShop “a community-based workshop and prototyping studio on a mission to democratize access to the tools of innovation.” Apparently, innovation isn’t for sissies.

This picture is a bold reminder of why I don’t do stuff like this. I have to applaud the convenient placement of the emergency STOP button, perfect for banging your forehead against as you cry: “Why? Why did I think I could make my own Comic Con vacuum-formed superhero chest piece?” 

This sign (Iceland) is both a lure and warning. For me the temptation to traverse the slippery rocks to get a better look at this sign would be overwhelming. “What is that? (scramble, scramble, slide on my bum) Is that a guy fall–uh oh.”

And finally, the sign below is blatantly egging you on to abandon common sense. Sign makers please note: Children under three, and people who gun it as they approach opening drawbridges, don’t really ‘get’ sarcasm.

Thanks to Katah for the water hazard shot, and to Charlie, first, for sending me the Iceland image, and secondly for having enough commonsense to take a long shot, and to Ginnie, who found the drawbridge image on Reddit, and, though I doubt its authenticity: HA!
