Topic: Lose a leg, win a few million

The true american dream, even in times of reccesion, everyone can become a millionaire!


-> A female janitor in NYC receives a recordammount of over 25 million dollar for a bus driving over her left leg, which had to be amputated.

The jury finds that she did not pay attention while crossing a busy street, however the busdriver should have anticipated that according to the jury.


-> 2 months earlier a drugaddict also was rewarded over 2 million dollar after he got caught under the subway, also losing his leg.

-> Last month someone received 7 million dollar after he fell on to the subwaytracks, losing a leg and the sight in 1 of his eyes.

->Another guy got 1.8 million dollar, for being smacked by a citybus

How can the american lawsystem allow these kind of idiotic payments?

"The jury finds that she did not pay attention while crossing a busy street, however the busdriver should have anticipated that according to the jury."

According to British law all drivers have to do this; pedestrians have right-of-way.
Doesn't cover you if you just walk out without looking though.

"So, it's defeat for you, is it? Someday I must meet a similar fate..."

Dollar won't buy what it used to

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
