  Oh, but I love warnings from other countries! I just took the 
chance of waking my 4 year old son up, so that I could copy the 
warning verbatim from his toy. He has a small plastic knight's 
helmet (and shield...and sword). All are impressed the the following:
"CAUTION. The simulated protective device was not a safety device 
and offered no protection. Made in China." I am particularly taken 
with the past tense of this warning! Was it used as prop in, 
say, "Crouching Tiger" and calamity followed?
