You may have read or heard today about Dell's 4.1 million defective
laptop PC batteries.

Dell has a Web site that helps you determine whether your PC will
spontaneously combust on your khakis. It includes this gem:

"If your battery does not reflect of these markings, it is not impacted
and you may exit the site."

I guess whoever wrote the Web site content also wrote the original QC
procedures for the batteries...
