People have been saying "press alt F4 to change your IRC nick" or whatever for several decades

Wasn't there a woman who tried to dry her little dog in the microwave, sued the company and won, because they never explicitely stated not to put live animals in there?
I hope that story isn't true, but most warning labels exist for a reason, and that reason isn't common sense.
