Default Haynes Manual surpise

Now I know Haynes have done a variety of manuals, but after visiting my Dad in hospital tonight I went into the Macmillan Information Center and they have a Haynes Manual for Cancer !!

Was quite a surprise seeing that, thought they only did cars but obviously not anymore

They do one for men - I think it only covers man flu , one for women which must be about 60000000 pages long as women are always at the doctors, and one about babies, although I'm not sure if that one is an instruction manual or a maintenance manual!

LOL, they did have the Man one as well, the woman version was in its own room it was that big

However given the history of the accuracy of Haynes Manuals I doubt very much I would trust one regarding Cancer

Presumably removing your own brain tumour carries a 5 spanner rating for difficulty?

It did how did you know, have you tried it ?

What I want to know is, how did they put the bloke back together again, presuming they did do a full stripdown and rebuild

My wife bought me the Haynes manual for "Baby" but unlike the car manuals, this one is not based on a strip-down and rebuild.

Could not believe my eyes at that one Sonic. I am glad I did not know about that a couple of years ago.

I thought it was going a bit far when I saw a Haynes for rebuilding a Spitfire a few months ago but this one really takes the biscuit!

So as a person in the know, has the Haynes manual made operating a baby easier than programming a VCR?

And in true Haynes Manual style, you are not guaranteed a fully working product after re-assembly
