jon_hill987 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Has anyone read the booklet that came with their MS mouse? LOL, It has more health warnings than a truck-load of tabaco! If you believed it you would never use your PC again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Just incase you havn't got a ms mouse here are some o the best bits "Health Warning Use of a keboard or pointing device may be linked to serious injurys or dissorders. Blah blah symptoms, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESIONAL," there is much more, there is even a page on eating properly and execise. Oh and I like this bit "Physical forces continuously interact with our bodies. We may only think of high impact forces, such as car crashes, as injuring our bodies. However, low forces may also result in injuries, discomfort or fatigue if they are repeated or experiance over a long period of time." well I had bet to go, got to see a doctor, my hand has touched my mouse!

IG-64 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 All those are put there because people use their comps non-stop (guilty ) and get carpal-tunnel syndrome and sue the mouse/keyboard company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had worked out it was a liability thing, its just funny how far you have to go now to avoid geting sued. I mean the healthy eating bit? surely not needed. I mean your not going to sue Microsoft when you get fat are you, or are people that mad thesedays? The booklet mentioned carpal-tunnel syndrome, what is it? it didn't say.

Elijah Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Originally posted by jon_hill987 The booklet mentioned carpal-tunnel syndrome, what is it? it didn't say. What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when tendons or ligaments in the wrist become enlarged, often from inflammation, after being aggravated. The narrowed tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist pinches the nerves that reach the fingers and the muscles at the base of the thumb. The first symptoms usually appear at night. Symptoms range from a burning, tingling numbness in the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers, to difficulty gripping or making a fist, to dropping things. Some cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are due to work-related cumulative trauma of the wrist. Diseases or conditions that predispose to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome include pregnancy, diabetes, and obesity. My father has carpal tunnel, he plays guitar, so its ruff, but he deals with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairb Notneb Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 It like the warning on the iron that says do not iron clothes while clothes are wearing them. Is there a warning on a hammer? I've never checked. If there isn't, I'm sueing because there isn't a warning. Did you know that a bottle of Dr. Pepper has a warning too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairb Notneb Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I went to that DumbWarnings.com and went to the Dumb Signs section. ROFL!! Here's a few. . . . Clemson, SC Caution water on road during rain. Rim Drive, Durango, CO Warning: Do Not Hit This Sign Sheriff's Dept., Warrden County, IN At entrance to jail a sign reads, "No weapons beyond this point". Message is also written in brail underneath. University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon Pedestrian Tunnel. No admittance (Pedestrian tunnels planned to link all the buildings of the school, but the project ran out of funding before they could be completed) And my favorite because I've seen signs like this when I used to live in Indiana on Route 41 near a prison there.
