    Saw this on another forum and it actually made me get mad over peoples stupidity and this countries legal system, but I won't get into all that. These are all real cases.

    Stella Awards

    It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards." For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico , where she purchased coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head and say WTF. So keep your head scratcher handy.

    Here are the Stellas for the past year:

    * SEVENTH PLACE *

    Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $8O,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.

    Start scratching!

    * SIXTH PLACE *

    Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California , won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

    Scratch some more...

    * FIFTH PLACE *

    Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching .. There are more......

    Double hand scratching after this one.....

    * FOURTH PLACE *

    Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.

    Pick a new spot to scratch, you're getting a bald spot..

    * THIRD PLACE *

    Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

    Only two more so ease up on the scratching....

    *SECOND PLACE*

    Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware , sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000 ...... oh, yeah, plus dental expenses.

    OK. Here we go!!

    * FIRST PLACE *

    This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her -- are you sitting down? --- $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

    snopes.com says that winnebago story is bogus.

  17. Poetry

    Anybody write any poetry or know of any good poems they'd like to share. Or even inspiring lyrics from your favorite artists music. I write every once in a while but never anything extensive, just enough to get the point acrossed. I'll post some of my favorites and some I've personally writen to get the ball rolling.

    These are some of mine

    -Too much pride causes a loss of appetite for knowledge.

    Not enough knowledge causes you to be blind to the truth.

    Not enough truth causes you to lie and disguise the fact that you have no idea why you're so proud to be you.

    -Griping a cross with the left and consoling the devil with the right.

    Words of the Qur'an begin to compel the white to strike.

    But the lies they tell grow weary and their people see more clearly,

    that the true facts are really found inside conspiracy theories.

    -Innocent ignorance causes self potential to be transparent.

    Like holding a full house but you've never played cards.

    Educate yourself about yourself and make the best of the hand your lord has dealt.

    Some of my favorite lyrics.

    -Mos Def-"Killin fields need blood to graze the cash cow

    It's a number game, but shit don't add up somehow

    Like I got, sixteen to thirty-two bars to rock it

    but only 15% of profits, ever see my pockets like

    sixty-nine billion in the last twenty years

    spent on national defense but folks still live in fear like

    nearly half of America's largest cities is one-quarter black

    That's why they gave Ricky Ross all the crack"

    -Immortal Technique-"It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

    Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

    They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

    The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

    A bandana full of glittering, generality

    Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

    Read about the history of the place that we live in

    And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children"

    -Nas-"The China-men built the railroad

    The Indians saved the Pilgrim

    And in return the Pilgrim killed em

    They call it it Thanksgiving, I call your holiday hellday

    Cause I'm from poverty, neglected by the wealthy

    Me and my niggas share gifts every day like Christmas

    Slay bitches and party everyday like this is the last

    I'm with my heckles connecting and we hitting the lad

    This is my level, fuck if it get you mad

    It's all poison, all of my words to enemies it is poison

    Rappers only talk about ki's, its all poison

    How could you call yourself emcees you ain't poison

    Think about the kids you mislead with the poison

    And any thoughts of taking me down is all poison

    Who want beef now, my heat shell anoint them, plaow"

    Remember it doesn't have to rhyme to be poetry and it can be about anything.

    immortal technique blows. joking, of course. 3rd World, motherf*cker. Check out Diabolic's album- Liar and a thief. Good ass lyrics.
