Chew on this for a while and an exciting statistic

Just one of those random thoughts that just drive you nuts.
I opened up a computer box not too long ago and I saw little silicon packets that said "Do Not Eat."
I was wondering if anyone that is old enough to read and open a computer box would regard anything in a Dell computer box as ediable? I mean do people think that the good folks at Dell wanted to give you a free snack with the purchase of your new computer, or perhaps they were worried that you would set it on the desk next to the coffee and the Sweet and Low and you would just dump it in your coffee.
Someone said to me "Well a little kid might put it in their mouth."
Which makes sense a Toddler will instinctivly find the most toxic and dangerous substance it can and proceed to eat it as soon as your back is turned. They could find a needle in haystack, just so they can eat it.
The point is though, that the warning label has not detered them for some reason, I guess they can't read it unless it is written with a Crayon.

As a side note, because I have the news playing in the background. Recent studies show that teenagers that listen to music with sexual lyrics are more likely to have sex at a young age. I don't know how they test these statistics, or who gets paid to find out this shocking information and isolates all the other misleading factors like "Children that are not supervised, Children that like to party, and teenage girls that really think that teenage boys are pondering long term commitments because he writes a note in study hall that says 'I love you'..."
So I am here to offer a statistic of my own. Teenage boys that listen to "Barney the Dinosaur and Friends" music are least likely to move out before the age of 40 and are 10% more likely to be serial killers.

And did anybody think to check to see whether they listen to music with sexual lyrics because they're already having sex?

Not likely, don't you know that all problems in the world can usually be linked to one source. Experts seem to think that all cause and effect relationships are caused by one cause.

Ah, so experts can't cope with the possibility of there being many causes. In that case, why do we call them experts? Because they're so single-minded?

Specialist= Someone that has spent his or her entire life being the master of one field, and doesn't believe any other fields exist anymore.
