Wearing of This Garment Does Not Enable You to Fly: And Other Really Dumb Warning Labels - Hardcover

Jeff Koon and Andy Powell were just teenagers when they launched Dumblaws.com, the fabulously popular website that lists actual laws of jaw-dropping absurdity from around the world (a site that attracts over 200,000 people a month). Having turned their success into a book, the two authors return with another mind boggling collection, this time of genuine warning labels culled from all corners of the world. WEARING OF THIS GARMENT DOES NOT ENABLE YOU TO FLY has to be read to be believed. Here is just a sample of what you can expect - Do not iron clothes on body - the Rowenta steam iron - Do not drive with screen in place - an interior sunscreen to cover the windshield - May cause drowsiness - Nytol Sleep Aid - Do not spray in eyes - Windex cleaning fluid - Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or your genitals - Swedish chainsaw - Do not use while sleeping - Hair Dryer And many, many more. Who says manufacturers aren't paying enough attention to consumer safety?

ANDY POWELL will graduate from high school this year. So far his grades in mathematics have been pretty good. After starting his first Web site with Jeff in primary school, their site listing stupid laws made Yahoo!'s site-of-the-year list in 1998. JEFF KOON will graduate from high school this year. His favorite subject is history. Appearing on the Montel Williams Show with Andy in summer 2001 crowned his dot.com career.
