This is the disclaimer for SimExplorer. I liked it. Here it is:
By reading this comment, you agree to sell your first-born to Bil Simser of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Earth and you agree not to quack like a duck while reading this comment. If it is discovered that you have quacked like a duck during the reading of this comment at any time, I reserve the right to sue you for damages. Damages, in this case, may be interpeted as all your money, your clothes, any first born children, your eternal salvation if you believe in such a thing, and anything else I can get away with.
You may not make illegal copies of this comment. Illegality of copies is determined by the laws of Estonia-on-Avon, a small principality covering approximately one half acre somewhere in Southern Alberta. A copy of these laws may be obtained by visiting Estonia-on-Avon, and asking Prince Bil to write down a copy for you. Punishment for illegal copies will also be left up to the Prince. You may not reverse engineer this software to attempt to discover the source code for use in your own products. If you wish to make modifications of this product, please contact me for further info. Infractions of this clause will lead to visit by a large man named Guido at late hours of the night.
This comment must be destroyed within 30 minutes of reading under full penalty of International law. You will be held responsible if this comment is not removed at the end of the appropriate time period. This agreement is not applicable in the states of New Jersey, Maryland, and Delerium or anywhere on the planet Earth.
This software is intended for individual use and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humor or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this software is not authorized (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes an irritating social faux pas.
Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or no grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals (especially moose) were harmed in the making of this software, although the cat next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you. Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft.
However, by pouring a complete circle of salt around yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and your pets. If you have received this software in error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites, whisk and place in a warm oven for 40 minutes.
Are you still reading this? Don’t worry, I said this agreement is not applicable anywhere on the planet Earth so unless you’re installing it from the International Space Station, there’s nothing to get your pantyhose in a knot about. I will not be coming to your house and taking your children, however, if you have a daughter of legal age and pretty cute to boot then we should talk.
