Anyway, quite a few years ago, in Paso Robles, a young lady freaked out during an earthquake and ran outside. A stray brick hit her on the head and killed her. Well, her mother was overcome with grief and I understand. However she took that grief and channeled it into requiring the stupidest warning sign ever. Brick buildings fall down in an earthquake. So now these are posted because, you know, if it saves one life.
And notice that it says "unreinforced masonry". Even California couldn't bring itself to say "Brick Buildings Fall".

California also has to have warning signs for any known carcinogen. Like lead. There is no limit to the amount of lead, so you get signs like these for everything (including Crystal glasses). |
