Warning messages

I just love Linux error and warning messages. Today I installed Eroaster, since K3B was behaving quirkily. When I clicked on the "copy CD" command, the following message came up:

Directly copying a CD might not be a good idea if your computer is slow, the source CD is scratched, the magnetic radiation of your heater is too extreme, or if your wife has had a bad day. So everything you do here is at your own risk!"

OK, the "wife" part was sexist, but it had a grain of truth in it as well.

Remember, I'm married to a linux geek, and thus allowed to tease with impunity.

Currently I'm at the level of using linux on regular basis, but not being very proficient myself. It's on the list, along with learning German and Greek, of things I should do after Kant.
