The video game list (which I found very funny) which led to the Acme physics list (which I found very funny) made me think of the physics warning labels from the Journal of Irreproducible Results. Two of my favorites from that list are these two:


Advisory: There is an Extremely Small but Nonzero Chance That, Through a
Process Known as 'Tunneling,' This Product May Spontaneously Disappear
from Its Present Location and Reappear at Any Random Place in the
Universe, Including Your Neighbors Domicile. The Manufacturer Will Not
Be Responsible for Any Damages or Inconvenience That May Result.


Public Notice as Required by Law: Any Use of This Product, in Any Manner
Whatsoever, Will Increase the Amount of Disorder in the Universe.
Although No Liability Is Implied Herein, the Consumer Is Warned That This
Process Will Ultimately Lead to the Heat Death of the Universe.

Here is one of the websites that lists the complete article
