Random pictures

Okay, time to hit the mailbag for stuff you guys have sent in.


First, from the "what the hell does that mean?" files:





In the build-up to July 4, one reader noticed that this lonely fire-extinguisher isn't particularly reassuring if the whole pile goes up:





Then we have this sign, from the "look, I said it already" department:







Apparently the Utah Shakespeare festival is presenting one of the Bard's more popular works:





I'm guessing this newsflash was written by someone who really loved "Death Race 2000"

If the pile is going up the extinguisher will do no good anyway, putting it right there makes it convenient against fire threatening the pile but keeps fools from trying to use it when all they would accomplish it to put themselves in considerable danger.
