What really bugs me is that stupid people have to be saved from themselves and will sue sombody if allowed to do something idiotic instead of just taking their lumps (or worse yet, will try to make a career out of such stuff).

Oh, and I wouldn't necessarily lump all this weirdness together...I read that the lady in the "hot McDonald's coffee case" actually suffered some pretty horrible burns, requiring major medical attention to some rather sensitive areas of her body. That's the part you don't hear about, that it really *was* a serious matter involving boiling hot coffee (some mechanical problem with the coffee maker). Imagine how *you* would feel if handed a cup of coffee that was so hot that you reflexively dropped it...in your lap

Now Accumulator, if the coffee is so hot you'd reflexively drop it, how would the person giving you the coffee be able to give it to you.
