Warnings

Why is it that we have to put warnings on almost every product known to man? I understand some of them but others are just plain stupid. Take for example a bag of peanuts that I purchased the other day that had "not suitable for nut allergy sufferers!" No shit Sherlock, they're PEANUTS! If you suffer from a nut allergy and you are aware of it then why would you eat a bag of nuts - that's just insane.

The same applies to the ever increasing amount of road signs that pop up everywhere, informing you of a corner, or a junction, or that you will need to give way in 100 yards (just in case you can't already see it!) or even worse, that frogs may cross the road.

Surely we are evolved enough to know a corner when we see one without being told what it is, and that if you are allergic to nuts it is a bad idea to eat them! If the world has got to a state where these warnings are completely justified and required then...
