2. You would think this goes without saying, but apparently, it does need to be said. Has anyone here ever looked at their wheelbarrow, and thought, "Hmmm...wonder how this bad boy would handle on the highway"? Thoughts...

3. So, this one is not exactly a disclaimer or warning label, but an example of "is this really necessary". In 2015, conflicting reports emerged on whether Jericho, the brother of slain Cecil the lion, was also killed in an illegal hunt in Zimbabwe. Cecil's killing provoked an international outrage because he was a protected animal. It turned out that this was a false report, but this is not the issue. For some reason, when reporting on the story, CNN felt it necessary to include this questionable qualifier to their report. It reads, "CNN reports that, according to a senior park official, Cecil the lion's brother Jericho, WHO IS ALSO A LION, was killed". We are surely all happy to hear that Jericho was not killed, but who would think that Jericho was anything else but a LION?
