The next time you rip the shrink wrap off a new driving game, take a moment to read the fine print in the disclaimer: "Activities and vehicle modifications appearing or described in this software may be potentially dangerous if applied to real-world vehicles. We do not endorse any such activity for others or recommend it to any particular person. If you choose to engage in these activities it is by your own free will and at your own volition. Any and all such modifications will likely cause a vehicle to behave differently than stock. Some modifications may significantly increase your risk when driving the vehicle or be dangerous in some driving situations. Use common sense when engaging in any activity or making any modifications. Do not take unwise risks, and consult a certified professional if you are not sure of anything. The developer assumes no liability for how any particular individual chooses to use the information presented here. Nor does the developer warranty the suitability or fitness of this software for any such real-world activity whatsoever." --Steve

What game was THAT from? Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction... Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
That's pretty damn funny. Another one to add - this was from the instructions printed for fresh Basil I bought: Directions: add leaves and stems to food as required. Caution - do NOT eat roots or potting mix. I kid you not. Rafe Mc On Fri, 18 Jan 2002 19:13:22 GMT, "Stephen Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote:
