Subject: Brin: (Ignoring Murphy's Law) kills
Three days ago, a brazilian teenager was killed in hospital, because
instead of saline solution, the nurse gave her vaseline.
The reason was that the idiots that produced those products made
_identical_ vessels for them, with the difference being a minuscule
identification label.
Murphy's Law is exactly the way to prevent those stupid errors.

Here an image of the two vessels:
