¿los art culos? o.O // California prop 65

[darkreaper00]

So, I was looking over my Kaladrax's box, and I thought maybe your Spanish translator was having a goof on you when the word culos caught my eye. Closer inspection reveals you're missing all the characters with accents or other diacritics in Italian and French as well. Can't speak for German.

 

As an aside, did we ever figure out what was triggering the California prop 65 warning? Depending on what that was (and perhaps in general) we might want to make a wider disclaimer post about boiling Bones in the kinds of vessels that are also used for food prep.

The Prop 65 statement ends up on virtually everything. California has a 24-page list of carcinogens they list here (PDF). Soft PVC usually contains phthalates, which is the likely source of concern. The mould release agents (whatever they might be) are also likely.

 

For all we know from that warning, Kaladrax contains aspirin, barbituates, cocaine, marijuana (smoke), oral contraceptives, testosterone, tobacco, or wood dust.

you know all those plastic dishes you use for storing food? Yeah they tend to come with prop 65 warnings too. Come to think of it I think California(the state) comes with a prop 65 warning.

No kidding, everything is labeled as containing potentially carcinogenic substances here in California.

And yes, the German is missing diacritics also.

Kaladrax would be very pleased to come with a warning. This one is not expansive enough in fact.

 

This product may vanquish you utterly. This product may cause humiliating defeat, causing your players to possibly throw their dice at you. We will not be held responsible for injuries to DM caused by dice.

Isn't prop 65 the one banning marriage between two Bones? Just say NO to prop 65!

 

I know Prop 66 is the one stating that Californians are hazardous to the health of all non-Californians. and Jedi.

I'm not entirely certain what the Bonesium is made out of, but if it contains vinyl chloride (which is, as I understand it, PVC (which actually stands for polyvinyl chloride) does), then that could be what triggered the warning. Vinyl chloride is on the list as a carcinogen, and after doing a bit of research (I found the least opinionated information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_chloride#Health_effects'>here), it looks like it's primarily factory workers and those living in the area of plants producing the stuff that are in the most danger.

 

So...I guess just don't melt your Bones down and drink them as a beverage, and you'll be fine?

 

Huzzah!

It´s funny cause it says art elf. XD

 

And... its not a very good translation. Well, at least is understable.

The Japanese shouldn't have those two ? in the first sentence as well.

Oh, I know this one. I used to do toy safety testing. The Prop 65 warning appears on almost literally everything that's sold in Cali. It's actually pretty useless and annoying, but you simply cannot sell things in Cali without it. Of course, if you want to sell things everywhere except Cali you're more than welcome to do that.

Doesn't everything cause cancer these days? Even the stuff that stops you from getting cancer?

[Pragma]

If this were Kingdom Death, the label "los art culos" would be entirely appropriate.

Considering that people regularly belt themselves with ionizing radiation to help prevent their cancer from spreading, yes. But hey, it seemingly works, so I'm not gonna complain.

 

Also, California is just all sorts of whacko when it comes to their "safety" warnings. From what I understand, even fast food joints have Prop 65 warnings on their menus. I wonder if bananas have Prop 65 warnings...

I for one am glad this warning is on there even though I don't live in California......I intended eating any bones I didn't want, now I've changed my mind.
