A New York banker whose car was hit by a man jumping out of the burning WTC North tower is SUING the dead mans estate because he failed to curl up into a neat ball to minimise the damage. Also, The City Of New York has published plans to sue firms occupying the upper 38 storeys of both towers because as they crashed earthwards, they added hugely to the numbers of people on the lower floors, thus "momentarily breaking fire regulations".
unbelievable.

meanwhile Al Queda is reportedly openly operating a sales outlet in Harpenden High Street (Bedfordshire), selling paraphernalia including videos demonstrating how to make soup out of women. Our home-secretary David Blunkett, unbelievably, has said that "Our draconian anti-terrorism legislation doesn't cover actual shops". How fucked up is that ?

The "Stella" awards rank up there with the Darwin awards. In 1994, a New
Mexico jury awarded $ 2.9 million U.S. in damages to 81-year-old Stella
Liebeck who suffered third-degree burns to her legs, groin and buttocks
after spilling a cup of McDonald's coffee on herself. This case inspired
an annual award - The "Stella" Award--for the most frivolous lawsuit in
the U.S. The ones listed below are clear candidates. All these cases are
verging on the outright ridiculous and yet with the right attorney you
could win anything!
1. January 2000: Kathleen Robertson of Austin Texas was awarded $780,000
by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who
was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were
understandably surprised at the verdict considering the misbehaving
littlebrat was Ms. Robertson's own son.
2. June 1998: 19 year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and
medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord.
Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the
car, when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
3. October 1998: A Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania was leaving a
house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able
to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was
malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting
the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on
vacation. Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He
subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He
sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue
mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of half a million dollars.
4. October 1999: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded
$14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next
door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a ch

chain in its owner's fenced-in yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might
have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was
shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
5. May 2000: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and
broke her coccyx. The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson threw
it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
6. December 1997: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware successfully sued the
owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the
bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This
occurred while Ms Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the
ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded
$12,000 and dental expenses.
And the winner is:
Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City. In November 2000 Mr. Grazinski
purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip
home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and
calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of
coffee. Not surprisingly the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and
overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the
handbook that he couldn't actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus
a new Winnie. (Winnebago actually changed their handbooks due to this
court case, just in case there are any other complete morons buying their
vehicles.)

man that shit is fucked up, heres one i read in a tabloid: (not exact words)
an australian man is suing his phone company over a $1500 long distance call his pet parrot (named crackers) had made. Crackers apparently started pecking at the phone numbers, and ended up dialing a buisness in Los Angeles, CA. It was mid night their so Crackers was simply but on hold for hours. When the owner came home from work he discovered crackers talking into the phone reciever (which he had knocked off) saying "pretty bird" and "hello" because those are the only words he knows. The man thought nothing of it until the phone bill arrived a month later, the terms of the lawsuit are still unclear.
