Scary manuals!
TSI has announced the winners in their 2002 Worst Manual Contest. Yikes! I think the directions for solving what looked to be a Rubik's Cube are my fave.

That's funny... but what about the good manuals? One of my favorites: In the runner up, instructions for assembling a scooter, there is this additional note: "Do not ride the product when you are in poor health or bad spirit" bad spirit? Why do I get the feeling that the original instructions were not in English, and further were not in any western culture language? (Don't get me wrong, admonitions against activity whilst in bad spirit should be more common in the west). -- Posted by on January 19, 2003 03:28 AM
