The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Now you know that the kids didn't try this stunt just
because no one told them not to. If the warning had
been there all along, would it have stopped them?
Would they even have noticed the warning? Hardly.

The warning is just so no one can *say* they weren't
warned against their own incredible stupiduty.
So it's necessary, I guess, but that doesn't keep it
from being silly.
