But if they ban knobs, what will wizards put on the end of their staffs?

I liked this quote.

Still, the door knob has defenders. "I'm shocked to hear this," says Sam Mirshak, owner of the architectural antique shop, The Door Store, when told about the Vancouver ban. "I can see it for community buildings and institutions, but not homes.

"I have strong feelings about hardware. Door knobs are lovely. They're the jewelry of the door."





That's not jewelry for the door! Jewelry for the door is the life sized nude image of Miley Cyrus I keep on mine.

*whisper*

Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed by the American people that I don't have jewelry on my door. It's actually a skinned wombat.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Instead of door knobs, new buildings will be equipped with easier-to-manoeuvre levers. The change is a victory for what's known as universal design, creating spaces and buildings that are easily accessible for everyone.


What's next, banning locks and deadbolts? How about all doors converted to wooden swinging saloon doors?! What will keep out all of the thieves, murderers and sex offenders?! What about the government??? Illuminati! Chem trails! Samsquanch could waltz right on in! 1-2-3 BAM primordial ape in your grill!

I'm sure you could find plenty of willing fluffers in the Background forums.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Well the new legislation can't apply to pre-existing knobs or the city council in Vancouver obviously couldn't keep their jobs.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

In all seriousness, if they're going to ban knobs for access reasons, are they going to mandate lift or ramp access next for homes?
