I wonder how many people had to be rescued from those lifts!

I wonder how many people just starved to death trying to leave floor 2.

 

Reminds me of that elevator game creepypasta where pressing numbers takes you to some alternate dimension.

[6Foot2]

Do some of those go sideways?

 

 

Door open/close buttons?

 

[Koldov]

Yeah I've seen those lifts in a hospital where the doors open both sides, I'm guessing at some point pressing only one 'floor' button might mean the other side's door won't open (got to be something convoluted like that)?

Shooting and Drinking - what could go wrong

 

 

OK OK OK - when I read it the shooting is simulated - so presumably no reall guns and bullets

 

 

just made me wonder at first sight!

 

Still - if it was advertised in certain parts of the USA............

I've seen examples of worse choice of font for similar wording. I won't post those examples here, as they really look like they used the word I'm dancing around here.

They've now removed it, but the Daily Fail appear to have forgotten how names work.

It would also be nice if they chose singular or plural for the units

 

not that I am one to complain about grammar but........

Mixed units seem to be an Amazon thing:

The dimensions of tyres has always impressed me - millimetres, inches and a percentage!!

Bike tyres are even worse

quote from Cycling UK

For example, some tyres marked 28" are actually much less than 27 inches in diameter, while 26×1.5 and 26×1½ are two completely different sizes.

and

Tyres of the same size may come with lots of different markings: 28×1¼×15/8, 28×1¾×1¼ or 700×32C, for example, which are all 32-622.

 

it is all crazy - there is an ISO system - but it doesn;t get used much!
