The 10 Most Dangerous Toys of All Time
Ant writes "An article at the Radar lists the ten most dangerous toys of all time, those treasured playthings that drew blood, chewed digits, took out eyes, and, in one case, actually irradiated. To keep things interesting, the editors excluded BB guns, slingshots, throwing stars, and anything else actually intended to inflict harm." My favorite: 'Feed Me!' begged the packaging for 1996's Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kid. And much like the carnivorous Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, the adorable lineup of Cabbage Patch snack-dolls appeared at first to be harmless. They merely wanted a nibble--a carrot perhaps, or maybe some yummy pudding. They would stop chewing when snack time was done -- they promised. Then they chomped your child's finger off."

I'm old enough to remember when toys could break fingers and start fires, those were the days.

I don't, but that only sounds like a good thing

I used to have a little Stug and a little 6pdr AT gun that fired matchsticks. Burnt matchsticks are quite sharp, and unburnt ones have a tendency to catch on fire. I loved those.
