Coz every girl crazy about a sharp-dressed laptop

Hey man, that is a sharp MacBook Air you’ve got there. No, seriously: I mean sharp. Like, sharp-enough-to-cut-flesh sharp. Or so say some Apple forum members in Germany, who claim that their MacBooks Airs are dangerously sharp. One user even says he sliced his arm open on the edge of his MBA MacBook (warning: the link above contains a bloody elbow pic).
Due to the machine translation from German, it’s hard to tell whether or not this is an exaggeration (it appears that this picture, which shows someone trying to cut a loaf of delicious French bread using a MacBook Air is merely a “dramatization”). Oh, that nutty German sense of humor!
Though, you know, maybe Steve and co. should run with this idea. “The MacBook Air! It slices! It dices! It gets you on wireless Internet! The only laptop you’ll ever need!” If they were clever, maybe they could ramp up the heat output and let you make grilled sandwiches inside it. All sorts of culinary usages await.
Update: According to a German-comprehending commenter below, the original post says that the fellow in question sliced his arm on a MacBook (wait, how?) prompting the joking around that led to the bread-slicing picture. We remain confident that Steve Jobs will release a bread-slicing laptop sometime in the next year. Maybe.

Now you did it!!
There will be severe fallout as a result of this blog!
1. The Homeland Security will ban Macbook Air from airline passengers.
2. Jackie Chan will make movies about Macbook Air martial art ninjas.
3. Teenagers with Macbook Air will cut themselves.
4. Steve Jobs will introduce Macbook Air "Caron Steel Blade" edition which can be used to cut just about anything and still retain its edge - It can be yours today for the 12 easy payments of $1000.
5. CIA bulk orders Macbook Air to take interrogation notes while torture prisoners at the same time.
6. Cocaine dealers mass orders Macbook Air which allows them to cut powder cocaine while entering their earnings on the spreadsheet.
Possibilities are endless!
I just read the german original, and the whole story is wrong here and on engadget. The guy cut himself on a Macbook, not on a Macbook Air. They started goofing around about the story in the forum, and so somebody made this picture of a Macbook Air slicing bread, leading to this mixup.
