The lady did spill the coffee in her own lap. Liquid coffee CANNOT be over 100C (boiling). There is no way it could burn through the cup. It may have been hotter than is traditionally served, but it was not even close enough to burn through a cup. Try thinking a little bit before spouting off total BS. Maybe you wont look like so much of a wanker. D Bozko you are a f****ing moron. The lady did spill the coffee in her own lap. Liquid coffee CANNOT be over 100C (boiling).

Okay, I did look it up, and can't seem to find one single report that says the coffee burned thru the bottom of the cup, but instead, she DID spill it while taking the lid off...and no, it didn't melt her sweatpants either if you belive that one too.

I've found this to be one of the biggest broken telephone examples ever given, each one is different is some way catered to helping the person make a point. Anyone have proof of the exact details of this incident and multiple sources to back it up? Unfortunately my work's computer networking is blocking a lot of the links as "entertainment"... sigh.

There I was expecting some good ole monkey goodness(or even imitation monkey goodness) and pfft nothing. This wasnt so bad for me but my Viet and Cambodian friends we sorely disappointed after lookng for some flavors from the homeland and just getting plain olde 20 percent butter fat ice cream with no monkey meat(real or imitation) to offset the carbohydrates. I did settle out of court for 2 free quarts of Chubby Hubby though. With the 20 percent butter fat it really is kinda hard to tell the difference.

Look up any of the lawsuits between major corporations and you might have the same reaction. Big companies sueing for stupid reasons. We don't hear about it as frequently as cases like this, but they do exist, except the money involved is in the multi millions. It's the American way.

Unfournately our Judicial system does have this tiny flaw.Anyone can sue anyone anbout anything. All you have to do is file the papers. But most of the time it works, but only when the Judges have some common sense. I really doubt if she really thought they were real berries.
