Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Choose a deep 8-cup dish or bowl (such as a trifle bowl). Cut pound cake into 1/4 inch slices. Cover the bottom of the bowl with a layer of pound cake. Generously douse the cake pieces with the rum mixture and pour on a layer of custard. Repeat layers ending with a layer of custard on top.
In a medium-sized saucepan combine the milk, sugar, cocoa and flour. Stirring with a wire wisk, cook over med. heat until the milk boils. Lower heat and cook 1 ~ 2 minutes. Pour the hot chocolate over the last custard layer. Let cool 10 minutes, then cover the bowl and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
