First up is Yahoo for this bit of their sign-up for a new username routine:
Gender: (Select One) ?
It just got weirder and weirder the more I thought about it. 'Select One' Why not just 'Select'? it's a pull down menu, you can only select one - and the list to select from is disappointingly short.
The second is a washing label, which I have lovingly recreated in Illustrator because I couldn't be bothered to scan it:
Apart from not understanding half of it (I have never knowingly triangled any of my washing but am now worried that I might have been unwittingly doing it for years) the instructions also warn me not to iron this item. Not that I need any prompting in that direction. I hate ironing and just don't do any, but it did make me wonder who in their right minds would need to be told not to iron a cushion?

I am delighted to be able to inform you, after a pub quiz last year in which the topic featured hotly, that the triangle crossed out in fact means 'Do Not Bleach.'
I feel better now I've actually had a use for that knowledge.
