    @OMG! Ponies!: because my time machine was down, and I didn't know about the deaths yet! Ever since the LHC went in the crapper, my time traveling has really been hit of miss.


    I actually ended up in an episode of Heroes, and decided that was enough, I wasn't gong to chance that kind of disaster again.

    I find that these machines all taste delicious, but only if you lick them while they are running.

    It's a good thing they issued the statement before people decided to try and start massaging personal regions with the machine.

    @Ron-Mexico: You can be SURE someone used it for that the day it hit the market, just no one reported injuries. They would just say that they "fell on it" anyway.

    @WildWon: Have you read "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk? The first story involves a guy and a pool intake valve and, according to some accounts, when Palahniuk read the story at a B&N event, some people vomited.

    The Japanese market is constantly being flooded with tons of gadgets. Because these products are rushed out so quickly, it seems that there is little to no safety testing prior to product launches and as a result this stuff happens.
