Cheeky, The USA is a nation of idiots, as evidenced by the recent lawsuit taken against Starbucks. It's almost as if we want to do away with Darwinism by a system of laws. Nobody should ever be burned by a cup of coffee, even if they are total dolts w/o a clue to check that the lid is on tightly. We wind up with laws that bind the hands of business and increase the cost to every consumer. What is even more disgusting is the fact that we allow lawyers to profit from it. I believe that Shakespeare was correct. BK

WARNING, Placing your hand on a red hot stove element will cause serious burns. You think you're being funny? About ten years ago I bought a new iron. The instructions specified: When in use, the iron becomes very hot. Always hold the appliance by its handle. I also purchased a very simple, basic telephone. Not even digital. Its manufacturers had managed to come up with an entire paragraph on "what to do when the phone rings".
