OK I promise to never sing "The Wind Beneath my Wings" or have a heart-warming reunion in front of the turtles. (I didn't know they were so emotionally unstable).
The prohibition is against standing on coral, which can easily be injured or killed by the weight of a person. It's a serious problem in nearshore Hawaiian ecosystems.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the prohibition against standing here.
I think it might mean don't "molest" the turtles?! hehe
I'm with acpaul. Why can't people stand? I understand why they shouldn't harass the coral, but banning standing is just mean...
There's "good touching" and "bad touching". They must be referring to the latter.

Then it should say, "Please do not stand ON or break off pieces...."
And BTW this belongs in the greatest hits IMO. The mental picture I get when I read about not "touching" the turtles...
Goodness! Reminds me of when my 4 year old was "kissing" me with her hands. Which seemed an awful lot like slapping, but what do I know?
Amazing post....
thanks for sharing....
