Books with Titles that Reference Itself
Some books have titles that reference itself. In other words, the title of the book is about the book itself, which in many cases tells you nothing about the book itself (unless you read the subtitle).
There are books that tell you to have it, read it, not read it, not open it, hide it, buy it, steal it, burn it, tear it, write in it, eat it, and not eat it.
A book that explicitly says it is a book, and one that explicitly says that it is not. Book that says it has monsters in it, cats in it, and no cats in it.
A book that says that it bites and another that warps space and time. Book that tells you that it will make you money and another that it will save your live.

Collection of Silly Signs Found on Flickr
Linked here is a collection of silly and funny signs found on flickr.
Self Referential Escalator Sign
The photo of the sign posted on LiveJournal and on flickr at first appears to be a sign about the sign itself.
Actually, the purpose of the sign is to act as a blocker so that people who tries to lean over the escalator will get hit on the head by the sign rather than getting their heads caught in the narrowing gap between the column and escalator.
Dangerous Sign with Sharp Edges
Some signs are useless. In addition, this one is dangerous too and it says so…
This sign says “CAUTION: This sign has sharp edges. Do not touch the edges of this sign.” Well, if the sign wasn’t there, then there wouldn’t be any sharp edges for us to touch. And there wouldn’t be a need for such a Caution.
Actually, I think the sign is about “no smoking”. See tiny icon in lower right. Not sure what is the icon on lower left indicate.
And the bottom text says “Also, the bridge is out ahead.” I guess, they thought the sharp edges of the sign is more important the a bridge being out.
This sign reminds me of another ironic sign linked here.
Sign of Person Flying Over Car
I guess this sign is trying to tell us to beware of fast moving cars, otherwise one might get hit and fly over the car as shown in the sign.
Sign of Person Wrapped Around an Axle
Interesting sign of a person wrapped around an axle…
Not good idea.
Sign of Hula Hoop Person
Not sure what is the meaning of this sign…
And is this sign on “S” street?
Now click here to Flickr to see what happened to the hula hoop person.
Sign to Rica Hell Hotel
This picture by Aleksander Dragnes on Flickr was taken in Trondheim Vaernes Airport in Norway.
In English, the name of the hotel is not too complimentary. However, maybe it sounds better in Norwegian.
Actually, on Rica Hotels website, it says “Rica Hell Hotel is one of Norway’s largest course and conference hotels, offering an ideal venue for business travellers, for those looking for somewhere to stay before going off on holiday…”
Funny Be Safe Sign
The sign tells us they want us to be safe. But they are really more concerned about the animals getting sick after they eat you.
