You also have to have an incredibly clean, abrasion-free glass container... like brand-new Pyrex.
I worked at a call center for a major appliance manufacturer, and we did get calls about this, but they were rare.
What was more common:
Some refrigerators have glass shelves. If you wash them, they can very easily explode. Glass always needs to heat and cool evenly... so when you take it from 34°F refrigerator, and place it under a 120° stream of tap water, it can crack, shatter, or explode.
Not fun.
Before 1959, Cuba boasted as many cattle as people. Today meat is so scarce that it is a crime to kill and eat a cow without government permission

Beef and lobster are controlled by the state, and therefore illegal to sell outside of state owned hotels and restaurants, however special lobster lunch/supper offers are plentiful for tourists.

Killing a cow is not illegal in and of itself. Killing a cow that is not yours is illegal, eating the meat of the cow that was killed in this manner is also an illegal act. Beef is STRICTLY rationed. You can certainly buy govt APPROVED beef from govt APPROVED sources.

Went to see if Wolfram Alpha would parse his statement.
i love this one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/
it makes the tabs you open go slightly lower than the orinal tab, so with one look you can easily tell witch tab was opened from where.
(note that this works when the tabs are at the top too, its just not the default in the plugin)
Much cheaper than the wireless camera grips from Canon for example (WFT-E3A for 40D/50D ~$700 USD and WFT-E4A for 5Dmk2 ~$950 USD), presumably at the cost of performance/reliability/ease of use/etc... but still, cool idea!
I know that they are real, but I am with you because I have never seen anything like these. There are several books about them(that is the best one I could find).
This website seems like a shitty resource because there are no alternative symbols, or pics of symbols in use.
Interesting that one of your favorite movies (Munchausen) is actually considered a complete disaster by most critics/people in the industry/Terry himself. You should find a copy of "Losing the Light" - it's about the trials and failures of Munchausen. Also - the documentary "Lost in La Mancha" is one of the best examples of how a wildly talented/visionary director and a team of the most talented filmmakers couldn't put together "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote".
I'm a huge Gilliam fan... a bit disappointing to see that he's remaking Time Bandits as a 3D popcorn flick...
