Don’t stick it on the back of your head!  :scared:
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Pffft. If only they made the opposite corner rounded too, it would boost the battery performance by another 5.44%-7.82% . Amateurs.

There's an historical precedent that rounded corners tend to attract lawsuits.

My ex used to claim that putting a small cardboard pyramid on top of a razor would make it sharper.  I placed the pyramid on top of her head and waited expectantly... she was NOT amused.

It reminds me of people who place the teaspoon in a bottle of champagne to stop the CO2 coming out.

I've never heard of that, but a spoon in a cup before pouring hot liquid might prevent a fracture.

redpatch: 250-pack

USD$1,950.00
Buy in bulk and distribute to project teams and entire workforces.


 :-DD

Show your team how gullible you are and how you are easily taken in for almost two grand for red paper with some glue on it.

What's even more ridiculous, in order to keep repeat business from the gullible, they claim that it only works for "up to 60 days".

Surely it's some kind of "idiot test" by a University, to see how many people actually submit an order?

The true test of gullibility will be those who submit repeat orders.

Yet another sticker that says something between "Hey, look...  I'm amazingly gullible" and "STUPID"

Reminds me of Bill Engvall's comedy routine about people needing "stupid signs."  :)

I'm surprised Linus Tech Tips hasn't done a quickie video lauding this with a careful disclaimer at the end.

This is just a tax on being gullible.
