Man Sues Lawyer for $38 Quadrillion – Whatever that Is?

On the Net — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:16:29 +0000

A man who sued a lawyer’s client for $918 billion also sued the lawyer for $38,000,000,000,000,000 – that’s $38 quadrillion for those of us that are big number challenged. This case might give us the answer to the legal question: Is a quadrillion more or less than a zillion? If he wins, I am going to go out on a limb and predict the plaintiff will have a hard time collecting all of the judgment. Would the plaintiff settle the case if offered $1 quadrillion? FYI: a billion has 9 zeros, a trillion has 12 zeros and a quadrillion has 15 zeros.

New York Insanity – 8.8% Tax on Sliced Bagels & No Tax on Unsliced Bagels

On the Net — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:39:39 +0000

New York Post: “Only Albany could find a way to tax a cut. The cash-strapped state has been enforcing a bizarre distinction in the tax laws which requires delis and food peddlers to impose a levy on sliced bagels — even though there is no tax when the breakfast staple is sold whole.”

Man Arrested for OSWI – Operating Stroller While Intoxicated

On the Net — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 14:34:05 +0000

A man pushing his two kids in a stroller was charged by police for “child endangering and intoxication.” A court found the man guilty as charged. My fear is that this case will unleash a new wave of OSWI lawyers and OSWI ads on TV and the sides of buses.

On the Net — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 19:28:38 +0000

Another reason why we need more government regulation and the media to scare educate us about dangers that can kill and injure. Until I watched this video, I want ignorant of the dangers imposed by falling tanker trucks that contain gasoline.

More Evidence that the American Education System Gets an F for Not Educating Americans

On the Net — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:56:48 +0000

I love Jay Leno’s “Jaywalking” where he goes on the street and asks people simple questions about the United States. It’s funny, but very sad. Americans can tell you who won American Idol, but don’t have a clue about the history of our great country. This video is about the 4th of July and U.S. history. Do an experiment and ask people under 45 the questions Jay asks. The American education system has failed recent generations of Americans because it has not educated young people. At the end of the segment, Jay asks a grandfather the questions that stumped the other people and he rattles correct and immediate answers to every question. It’s proof that at one time the U.S. education system educated young people about the history of the United States.

English Fish Police Bust Great-Granny for Selling Goldfish to a Minor

On the Net — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 02:09:24 +0000

Telegraph: “A great-grandmother has been ordered to wear an electronic tag for breaching new animal welfare laws by selling a goldfish to a 14 year-old boy. Joan Higgins, a pet shop owner, was caught selling the fish to the teenager in a ’sting’ operation by council officials. She was then prosecuted in an eight month court process estimated to have cost the taxpayer more than £20,000. Under new animal welfare laws, passed in 2006, it is it illegal to sell goldfish to under 16s. Offenders can be punished with up to 12 months in prison.”

Idiotic Congressman Worries that Sending More Marines to Guam May Cause the Island to Tip Over

On the Net — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:17:29 +0000

More proof that we are doomed – Democrat congressman Hank Johnson in a Congressional hearing asked a Navy admiral if sending 8,000 Marines and their families to the island of Guam would cause the island to tip over and capsize. The astounding question is captured on a video that will probably go viral. Look at the look on the admiral’s face as he answers the question. For some of Representative Johnson’s other fears, see Ace of Spades HQ who discovered he also fears moon missions may cause the moon to depart its earth orbit and drilling in Alaska could cause Kansas City to become the north pole.

The next time you are in close proximity with another person and you get the urge to pass gas, don’t do it. Brian Bruggeman had the urge and let it rip, but his cellmate Jesse Dorris did not appreciate the aroma. Jesse started a fight with Brian and now Brian has been charged with assault by a confined person, a felony that could bring up to five years of jail time.
