Blah, blah, blah.... I know. What do these lawyers think people are going to do... bludgeon themselves with the statue? Suffocate themselves in the wall poster? Scorch themselves with Lara's flamethrower? Honestly.... But in this day and age a little butt-covering is par for the course. Thanks for bearing with me.
