Here is my 36 lira (about $0.02)...
The lady who spilled coffee had to have skin grafts because the coffee was
approximately 160 degrees. It gave her MASSIVE burns. When you feel how hot
a hot tub is, just remember that they are 104 degrees, about 6 points higher
than your body temp. This coffee was over 60 points higher. Also, a later
court appeal by the McDonalds corp. reduced the multi-million award to
$200,000. Both the award reduction and the actual damage caused by the hot
coffee were mostly unreported, as the best way to sell papers is with amazing
stories.
Speaking of BLFHs, did you people hear about the lawsuit against GM? The link
is below. They were ordered to pay $4.9 Billion because they didn't wat to
pay for a recall on faulty gas tanks. They can torch my butt for a fraction
of that money if they want!
