Really amusing sign at parking lot in the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) - warning people that the trespassing tree-sitters might drop stuff from their perches up in the trees.
The tree-sitters are environmental activists who are protesting the plans to cut down a few of the trees in order to build a new building on campus. The tree-sitters installed platforms and tree houses way up in the trees, and have been living there for months in order to try to keep the trees from being chopped.
The signs are very funny to me, because they're so formally done -- and they would seem to suggest that the university expects the tree-sitters to be a longterm fixture. But, the fact that they seem to feel they need to warn people would indicate that they believe there's very real/significant danger of passers-by getting hurt by stuff falling, and this sort of warning sign usually only occurs when an establishment feels that they need to reduce legal liability through posting warning disclaimers.
Mainly, it seems amusing to me because the signs feel like a subtle criticism of the tree-huggers -- trying to emphasize and exaggerate the danger they're causing by being up in the trees.
Why should the university feel the need to warn people about something that they are not responsible for? If something were to fall and damage a car or person, the liability would all be on the part of the protestors, right?
Check out my pic of the protestors' treehouse, also.

"Spooner" is a thousand-year-old redwood that stands nearly 300 feet tall. A tree sit was established to protect it and the surrounding forest from being logged by Pacific Lumber.

Harrison asks tree-sitters to abandon their redwood protest perch. Obviously, they didn't. August 21, 2008.

Inspiration: My vision of an anaconda constricting an unsuspecting tree sitter while staging a deforestation protest in the Brazilian rain forest.

She was yelling at the police to stay away, all while crowds of people looked on to see what would happen.
