i regonise that gen set where is it!

but i've seen a few so it might be me going mad!
 
Can someone explain the joke.

I assume it was just a bit of a poke at the old fashioned 'alive' warning, which would usually be replaced with just 'live' on any modern sign. Just like I always have to smile when walking past an old DB installed in one of the bays where I work, with a sign labelled "Danger - Electricity".
 
alive = living :wink:
Modern equipment may have a "live equipment" type tag attached.
 
In the engineering department when I was at uni they had some signs that said "Danger - Medium Voltage". This obviously confused anybody unaware of the wiring regs!
 
I actually fully expect it to be asbestos on the exhaust - luckily this is a photo from a site that is due to be decommisioned and redeveloped.

It is not actually on a site I have attended, the sign just made me chuckle. It is courtesy of www.28dayslater.co.uk.
 
MrsBanal - If the image is hosted on your site, perhaps you should implement some hotlinking prevention rather than persecuting each and every person that links to an image.

It is very simple to implement using PHP, htaccess files on apache, and several other methods.
