Airplane signage

One of my favorite things in life is airplane safety signage. I especially love the illustrated variety, whether it's the safety pamphlet, or exit row signs, they rarely disappoint.

I flew to North Carolina recently, and was fortunate enough to sit in the Exit Row on the way home (yeah, leg room!). The following was posted above the exit door.



I am fairly certain of the sign's intended meaning, but I chose to come up with my own interpretation. It goes something like this:

If you stare out the window for too long, you will shoot a laser from your eyes. The glass will magnify said laser, and immediately start anything on fire which comes in its path. This even includes clouds. Caution, whatever you do, don't look at the door!

If any of you see your own awesome illustrated signage, please feel free to send it my way.

I honestly can't figure out the meaning of the sign. Seriously. What does it mean? If you see a fire 30,000 feet below you, don't use your iPod?
