Sadly he didn't. He hasn't even logged in since 2016 ...
It's possible he just got stuck at the bottom of the stairs though.

Would sending a clown to deliver flowers to your partner be a romantic jester?

I just bought a set of three USB-C to USB-C cables and they arrived in a nice little box.
With a User Manual. For a cable.*
* Which doesn't include the instructions to plug it in ...

I don't think the world is mad, I just think that trying to be juridically safe in every moment (to avoid potential sues) and the political correctness is making us even more stupid as a race.

Does it include the warning to "always keep away from children"? Which I find nigh on impossible with 10 grandchildren.

That is just generally good advice ... they are dirty little disease factories, after all!

In my first university level programming course, the professor introduced the concept of algorithms using the instructions (a.k.a. "manual") on his shampoo bottle:
* Wet hair
* Apply
* Lather
* Repeat
Actually, the manual was very useful for learning the basics of algorithm, and precision of description. He made a big issue of points such as 'Apply' - the whole bottle? Where should it be applied? what does 'Apply' mean? When he got to 'Repeat' (the first time), there was no indication of what to repeat, so he tried to repeat it all. But he couldn't 'Wet hair', as it was already wet! He reached 'Repeat' a second time, and a third time, and a fourth time ... The hot water tank ran empty, and his shampoo bottle ran empty ...
So silly manuals / instructions can serve a purpose, although not necessarily the way the manufacturer intended.
A similar experience:
A couple of weeks ago I spent the last grains of salt in that 1 kg box. Before I threw the empty box in the garbage, I noticed that it had a 'Best before' date. For table salt?? I consider sodium and chlorine rather stable elements, and the bond between them as well. I would never expect the potency of either to decay much with age.
My new box of salt also had a 'Best before' - three years into the future (2027). The old box was expired by two years (I do not use much salt in my cooking), so it was probably bought five years ago. The last few grains had started lumping together; I guess is the reason for the BB date. Not really "best before", but "may start lumping together after 3 years". I know to store salt in a dry place, so for me it took five years.
I guess referring to the date in your wedding ring as the BB date can be considered an NSFW joke inappropriate for the Lounge, so I suppose I should leave it out.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Here in the Uk, even bottled water has a BBE ... but that's the bottle's fault as the plastic starts to leach chemicals into the water after a certain point.
When I was involved in industrial ink jet printers customers assumed that the BBE on teh ink cartridges was to make us more money - and they did due to a process called "flocculation" which caused the pigment to clump up and block filters in the print head which then had to be scrapped and replaced at a serious cost ...* 
* I did fit a replaceable filter between the ink cartridge and the head which filtered out 5 micron particles to save the "last ditch" 10 micron head filter, but ignore it for too long and flocculation would occur in the head itself and stuff it right up. Particularly if you didn't replace the cartridge filter when recommended.

I did a project once for a purveyor of very expensive ink. The goal of the project was to measure the volume of individual drops of ink from an inkjet printer. It was measured in units of picoliters. That was one of the very few projects I ever worked on where I never actually understand the point.
Something amusing: the word picoliters is being highlighted as misspelled. The suggested correction is helicopters.

Probably one of the Xaar heads: when I was working with them the droplet volume was either 40 or 80 picolitres* depending on the head you used.
And none of the distributors could understand that the amount of ink you used per print depended on what characters you printed ... "i" used a lot less ink than "W"
* I got "picolitre's", "kilometers", and "picolitres'" as corrections.
