Some things are just bound to get overlooked: patient information leaflets, terms & services and the warning “Do not try this at home”. We can say from experience that all these things exist for a reason. Still, unwanted interactions between medications or cell-phone contracts you can only cancel when you are jumping in squares across the Mongolian-Manchurian steppe under a full moon – these things just suck.

And the thing with trying at home... well, see for yourself: The Geek Pin “I tried it at home” clearly shows what could happen if you repeat an experiment you’ve seen on TV or on the internet: you could spontaneously go up in flames and be forced to run around with flailing arms! But seriously, please be careful when you attempt to do dangerous things at home – five minutes of internet fame are not worth risking limbs or lives. Just get this pin instead ;).
