But gabb, the guy is clearly wearing a bathing suit!

I though it was some sort of visual-alarm environmentalism where a "water is deeper than you are tall" warning still stood fresh next to a place where there was no water anymore. :(

(And indeed has the look of a little lake that has shrunk to nothing.)

nabisco, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:35 (eighteen years ago)

no it is clearly dave matthews-related

"DAVE MATTHEWS DANCED HERE, BRAHS"

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

The continuity of the icons that go with "PICK UP YOUR CHILDREN WITHOUT BENDING" clearly imply that you should lift them by the hair.

ok fuck that robot

HI DERE, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

Good god -- if it's a ROBOT and it's MOVING, where do you stand to avoid getting crushed like Mr. Pictogram? Judging by the picture, it was hiding behind something before it jumped out and tackled him.

nabisco, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

Most disturbing of whole thread so far is the one where his little circle head is not only severed but flying through the air.

Jon Lewis, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

I think Mr. Pictogram needs a TV sitcom so we can watch his hilarious antics week after week

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

Is it possible to be pictogram-illiterate (apart from actual sight-impairment?)

I feel mr. O. Sacks knows the answer.

It's the wheelchair man's silent scream that gets me.

John Justen, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

Well, that and the crocodile. Perhaps it isn't a warning, but an approved "Wheel Grandad into the croc pit HERE" site designation.

That last one looks like something from the opening credits of "Crime Story".

Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 22:29 (eighteen years ago)

I think that's saying "don't let an angry cloud attack your car with its vagina."

... and not on like, the train line?

Trayce, Thursday, 16 August 2007 01:04 (eighteen years ago)

at the restaurant where i work, they have a huge old-fashioned meat-mincer which has this warning: "not to be operated by children or housewives".

I'm not sure what the warning is here. Cows will carjack you?

Trayce, Thursday, 16 August 2007 05:19 (eighteen years ago)

that's not as bad as them FALLING ON YOUR CAR (SEE UPTHREAD)

Wow, the blood on that last one is a little much.

The Yellow Kid, Monday, 20 August 2007 19:28 (eighteen years ago)

The missing shoe is a nice touch, though.

kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

I imagine that irl, your shoe would come off if you got hit by a 1986 Crown Victoria.

kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 19:46 (eighteen years ago)

xposts to Trayce: that is clearly "warning, front wheel liable to turn into cow"
