Okay, that's acceptable. Whenever people parade out the hot coffee lawsuit, I get enraged.

Why don't they put her in the next probe. Because people like her must be a waste of space on this planet.

Ive had to answer phones for NASA in the past. You would be amazed at the number of psycho calls we get. Here are some examples:

1. I need you to move that satellite you have over my house cus its _____(fill in some crazy blank such as "making my dog go crazy")_____
2. You guys implanted something in my head and now the music wont stop, I need you to shut it off.
3. I found a piece of the shuttle in my yard (and caller id reveals there is no way this is possible).
4. Im sick of you guys watching me all the time, why wont you leave me alone?

Actually, #1 is very very common and is often combined with #4.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my gosh! Will the stupidity ever end? Astrology is nothing but making people believe what they want. It is just another old woman PO'd about the cold war. Man, people are so greedy these days.

You know if she somehow wins (and that's one HUGE somehow, like zombie apocolypse somehow) I wonder how long it's going to take before everyone with the same horoscope starts to send in those lawsuits...

Not acceptable. Anyone who eats McDonalds 3 times a day is an idiot.

I think people like this should loose thier case, pay court costs and a hefty fine for filing such a frivlous lawsuit.

The lawyer doesn't care, he's getting paid whether it wins, loses, or is countersued. :mad:

Still, it's good to hear about rockets and probes ramming things.

She should have played her cards right and gone to the UN. It would have been an open and shut case in her favor.

Wow...

the price of democracy...

I guess this means that the Russians have finally run out of nukes to sell, and have to make ends meet by fileing frivolus lawsuits against companies rich enough to pay them...

Sorry, russians, but the russian joke is just too easy...

Really, the sad thing isnt really the woman suing, its the fact the court decided to hear the case instead of just snickering and throwing it out instantly...now both sides will waste a godly amount of money.

A really simple way to stop these lawsuits is making a law that the loser must pay the legal bills of the winner. simple as that. People will only sue when its justified.

If they continue to give in, then there should be a law against it. And they can't complain.
