warning signs of tomorrow

Basically, this is what happens when someone thinks about the risks that a future humanity might be subject to given the assumptions central to various pieces of science fiction...and designs warning icons for them. Beautiful and brilliant; as a bonus, includes quick explanations for why some of these things are (or may become, or might be) dangerous. Where else are you going to find standardized warning signs for:

• nonstandard spacetime
  
• macroscale quantum system
  
• nanoparticle hazard
  
• memetic hazard
  

and quite a few more like them?

(It's hard for me to tell just how seriously this site as a whole takes itself. But it's interesting nonetheless.)

Read Schlock Mercenary (webcomic)? He linked the same thing by the same guy in another place, b/c he linked Schlock. Recursive linkage!
