Time once again to clean out those browser tabs ...

1. When is dead dead? Not a trivial question when you're talking about organ donations.
2. The Toilet Sign Project. There are some pretty clever ones here.
3. The worst foods in America. I've eaten ... well, one of these (the Cinnabon).
4. One of those stealth patent infringement suits may have Sony's Blu-ray in its sights.
5. Not exactly how you'd expect a stingray to kill someone.
6. For all I've bitched about Microsoft not adhering to web standards ... its moves toward doing so will likely cause more problems. (More)

Some of the bathroom signs are a bit too abstract for me. And a couple are a bit too literal. But if I gotta go right now I'd prefer the literal ones.

The advantage of the more literal ones (I do like the rope sculptures, which tends toward that end of the category) is that they are, as you say, pretty clear when you're actually looking for the door to enter.

In at least one restaurant I ate at in the Netherlands, the WC doors were (a) separated by a stairway, and (b) marked only with a small "D" and "H" nestled against the door jamb. Very trendy and chic but not very helpful.
