    Product will be hot after heating.

    (But wouldn't that save more time? Whose body are they talking about, exactly?)

    The world would be a much grimmer place without lawyers wouldn't it? But I can't help but think that they are seriously interfering with the Darwinian process...

    In that case you might know http://www.darwinawards.com/ as well?

    The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it. We commemorate the actions of men and women who gave their all, in an effort to improve the human species. Of necessity, the honor is usually bestowed posthumously.
    Hilarious!
