From Una Rocks

The Stella Awards are named after 81-year old Stella Liebeck… who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s for millions.

This years runners up are:
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas. Won $14,500 after being bitten on the arse by his neighbour’s beagle. Mr Williams was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun at the time.

Amber Carson was paid $113,500 by a Philadelphia restaurant after she broke her back from slipping on a soft drink… which she had just thrown at her boyfriend.

Kara Walton of Delaware sued a nightclub and won $12,000 after falling from a bathroom window and knocking 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.

But the winner is:
Mrs Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma who purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago. On her first trip, she drove on the freeway, set the cruise control at 70 mph and went out back to make a sandwich. She crashed. Then sued for the manual not advising her not to do this.

The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company then changed their manuals on the basis of this suit.

This takes balls, and I love them for it. A group of students in Texas in a group called the Atheist Agenda are offering people the opportunity to trade bibles for porn, in their Smut for Smut promotion. That is simply hilarious.

I thought this was quite funny. A guy hacked myspace using javascript in his profile and managed to get over 1 million friend requests before they shut him down. I wanted to add him as a friend on myspace, but I can’t seem to find the guy, oddly enough. In searching for his profile I ran across many a butchered profile. It’s amusing and horrifying how much crap people try to cram into their profiles. It reminds me of the old geocities, anglefire and lycos webpages people used to cook up, like this one. I made a vain attempt at pimping my profile up, but in the end it just kinda ends up looking like crap one way or the other.
