A really kewl new disclaimer!

It should be obvious that one should not make major (and even minor) life decisions based on machine generated prophesies on a feed from an internet website! I mean, like . . .Really!

So I should reiterate that the astrology, tarot and bio-rhythm feeds here do not necessarily have any scientific basis. They are not designed to cure, diagnose, or treat any disease . . . real or imagined. If you've got problems, see a licensed physician. This stuff is for amusement only.

But...in case that's still not clear, I found this wonderful disclaimer on the "Yet Another Website" page: http://www.amon-hen.com/index.php?paged=2 . This guy is one heck of a lot better at writing disclaimers than I am. I highly recommend you read it thoroughly (it might even be advisable to read it three times in a row, while burning incense...and while facing east...it should provide protection against many of the evils of our modern civilization):

I just realized...isn't there something about if you cut the little tags off your new pillow or mattress you will be subject to some sort of cruel and unusual punishment? Do they still do that? I think he forgot to put that in his disclaimer... does anyone know?

OMG! LOL! When I was a child I was terrified of those tags! I never cut them off and used to think that the police would come like magic if you did.

"Many suitcases look alike". True. But you have to realize-- there are also quite a few suitcases that don't look alike. Am I right?
