Today in History:Feb 27 1992 Trying to get the lid off her McDonald's coffee to add cream and sugar, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck accidentally splashes the 180-degree liquid on herself, causing third-degree burns to the thighs, genitals, and buttocks. After skin graft surgery and weeks of recuperation, Liebeck asks McDonald's to turn down the temperature of their coffee and pay $20,000 to defray her hospital bills. McDonald's tells the old lady to f off, as they had done for a decade of similar burn claims. Ultimately, a jury awards Liebeck $2.9 million in the resulting lawsuit, which immediately triggers a renewed call for legislative tort reform. --dailyrotten

How to Lose a Job Interview in Sixty Seconds
Ha! In Pequannock, NJ, a 53 year old man stopped off a thte Holy Spirit Catholic School to pick up a job application. Officials at the school refused to provide him with said application based solely upon his appearance. He had decided to dress for success in a diaper and pink stretch pants.
According to police, when he was not even given the chance to apply for the position, dude literally defecated in his diaper. He was later apprehended at a local supermarket and is being faced with child endangerment charges.
I wouldn't be surprised if we soon hear about him suing the Catholic Church for violating his civil rights to dress like a poopy idiot.

I've Been Looking for a New Coffee Table Book...
Norwegian sexologist and transvestite Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad is compiling a book to show off the variety of his countrymens' units. He has photographed dozens of men in Oslo and Grimstad to illustrate his book, which he says will feature 80 to 100 photos of the scepters of power.
He hopes that most men will be able to find a wingding similar to their own in the book.
"Heterosexual men have no one to compare their [john thomas] with," he said.
"During my 18 years as a sexologist, I have answered all kinds of questions relating to [trouser snakes].
"Many think theirs is either too small or too thin but the reality is that there is such a variation."

Ambulance crew ask patient for directions
In Britain, poor Rosalind Stillwell had to help her own ambulance drivers find the hospital! Rosie was in a crash and had broken 8 ribs and her collarbone. She was supposed to be being transported to Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. But when she woke up from a pain filled nap in the back of the ambulance, she found that the ambulance had gone about 60 miles in the wrong direction, toward Shoreham, Kent.
Rosalind said: "The paramedic said, 'Don't worry, we're ten minutes away'. I panicked and knew it was not the right route. I said, 'I told you we were going to Sussex'.
"Then they stopped, showed me a map and asked me how to get there. It sounds funny, but it was farcical.
I was in a lot of pain and didn't need this on top of everything else."
She arrived at Southlands Hospital two hours late.
Rosalind said: "After the crew put me in bed they left pretty smartly. They realised the blunder. When I told my family and friends they were horrified, even though we tried to see the funny side."
Wings, the company that provides transport for NHS and private patients in the Bath area, says it will investigate the incident.

Toad Tunnel
PETA must have some kind of power in Germany. How else to explain the fact that Germany's government is shelling out $300,000USD to build TUNNELs for toads and frogs to use under a roadway so they won't get squished?
Berlin authorities have insisted that said road be built to compensate the city for having a new diplomatic school built in a conservation area.
Under the deal, five 33-foot tunnels for frogs and toads are to be built by July under roads in the suburb of Luebars. The project will offer safe passage to an estimated 4,000 amphibians each year, ministry officials said.

Sum 41 being sued for throwing hot dog
Sum 41 are being sued by a New York man who says they threw a hot dog at him.
Michael Sudore claims band members heckled and threw a hot dog at him at a local minor league baseball game. Sudore says they secretly taped the whole incident and included it without his permission on the DVD that accompanied their 2002 album Does This Look Infected?
Sudore, who is seeking £3.3 million in damages plus legal fees, claims he's experienced psychological trauma and adverse effects in his self-owned home improvement business.
Says his outraged lawyer of Sum 41: "They picked him out because of his distinct look and pelted him with a hot dog, then surreptitiously taped him and his reaction, and not in the most flattering way."
