Well if it were Toronto, then I'd say it makes sense, as the mayor would probably find doorknobs to be difficult to work in a drunken coke-induced stupor. Marc

Well, that makes perfect sense to me. After all, we'll shortly be evolving into bipedal creatures with legs as functional as the wings on a penguin, due a profound lack of interest in walking, so we'll mostly get about on wheels. And since we're also going to be developing flipper-like appendages with tiny, pointed opposable digits suited to poking tiny images on portable, wireless communications devices, knobs may present quite a challenge. Go Vancouver! I'm all for it...:~

Um... wings on penguins are VERY functional... Have you seen them swim? :) Also, I think a slap from an Emperor penguin can break your bone. So I think humans forgetting how to walk are less useful than penguins forgetting how to fly. :rolleyes:
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

Hey we know the real reason for the ban: Accident and Emergency units... Things I have fished out...[^] (Technically SFW, but frankly if you value your innocence, I wouldn't click the link. Or become a doctor. There are some very odd people out there!)

In Vancouver 8.0, all buildings will have to be built with baby blocks in primary colours.

If you're lucky, your knob will be "grandfathered in". (I don't want to know what that means, but it's in the article.)

The bylaw is for new building only; there are no provisions to force people to change their current door knobs.
I'd rather be phishing!

... yet. The next step will be to add it to the list of features that must be updated as part of any renovation when a building permit is issued. And at some point along the way legal trolls will start extorting businesses that haven't voluntarily upgraded yet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
