The Strange Olympics Sign

"Look, I am really sorry about this whole Olympic thing but sooner than later it will all be over and we will solve all our problems once and for all. Enjoy the games."

Is it an apology for all the Olympic disruptions, or is it a threat? It certainly doesn't seem to be the work of our local transit authority.

One thing that we do know is that it was a professionally made machined aluminium sign, and it was affixed to the sign pole by a metal strap, in a similar fashion used for other bus stop signs. A cheap sign, this isn't.

2008-01-05 WARNING: MAY CONTAIN STONES!

An odd warning label seen on a couple dozen bins containing various types of beans at our local grocery store.

This brings to mind all sorts ideas for alternate stickers one could replace this with...

For the bin with the kidney beans:

"PRODUCT MAY CAUSE STONES"
"SCREAM and PASS AFTER USING"

Another good one is:

"PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN FOOD"

As seen on the route map of a Skytrain car:


Take a close look at the right side of the map. ^_^

Ironically, if there is significant sea-level rise, Maple Ridge and Pit Mewdows will experience significant flooding, especially when the Fraser River is in flood.

Not to mention that Richmond and Delta will be under water...

I guess that would result in a new refrain to the saying, "Richmond means never having to say you're Surry", with "Surrey means never having to say you're underwater". ^_^
