"educational zen" double take

Wasting valuable hours of her life that she will never get back, BoingBoing reader Brenda Vonahsen dove into our last edition of Web Zen ("educational zen") and found herself zenned out by one item in particular.

She says, "The 'Dragon Ballz toy' section of the Hall Of Technical Documantation Weirdness contains this prose:

WARNING: With appertain rotor of screw setting pre ceiling on the understanding that serew no weild. May wield two-faced, pressboard securing. weild pre to begin with wiping ceiling of bilge dasto.

# Prythee no sport with stingy or play asperity game. Winding finger have got bloodstream not walk. Throagh peril.

# Tad disport of time grown man tatelage.

# Till the cowcomes home.Weild toys damage,burn-in prythee wind to a close wield.

# Give attention to open/close toys,therefore take place peril.for instance slipup batteries wield result in the emission of heat rupture liquid.vent itseld prythee pay attention."

Brenda says, "I think that at some point whomever wrote this just gave up. The use of 'prythee' I find sort of cute and endearing."

Link. Plus, I love how instead of calling them "instructions," the document calls them "Ways and Means." Sounds like a House subcommittee.
