Poppy pins banned in case people sue:

The Royal British Legion has stopped supplying pins with its poppies because it fears compensation claims from "injured" members of the public.
...
The legion, the largest charity for ex-servicemen, sells about 30 million poppies each year to mark Remembrance Day. Traditionally, buyers get a steel pin to attach the poppy to their lapel.

IQ's must have dropped while I wasn't looking - now people can't operate pins.

I'm waiting for the NY Times to start running disclaimers on the front page - "May be hazardous if shoved up your butt". Of course, I wouldn't mind if it was verified by a clinical trial amongst the staffers.
