Helpful Warning

This was on boingboing last week and I think it's awesome:



It's a "beware of bumping head on sign" sign, and apparently it's real. It throws my head for a loop because it could be totally recursive and go on forever, like videotaping yourself in front of a television. I'm not making any sense, am I. Still, the apparent uselessness of such a sign is what makes me so happy that it exists.

The story of the sign can be found here.

what hurts more - hitting one's head on the sign or the brain freeze you encounter when trying to figure out the purpose of the sign? Signs, signs everywhere signs wasn't that a song?

That has to be in Asia

Couldn't be in Asia...Asians aren't tall enough to hit their heads on it.

Yes, but white guys like me who go to Asia 3 or 4 times a year are tall enough

is that an escalator? 'cause the sign is totally pointing the wrong way. anyone going up it would only see the razor sharp edge about to inflict serious damage to his forehead. wierd factor 9.5!!
