Oyez, Oyez

A Washington, D.C., dry cleaning store that was sued for $54 million over an allegedly missing pair of pants will not have to pay anything to its disgruntled customer, a judge ruled Monday.

Instead, Roy Pearson, who sued over the missing trousers, may have to pay the store owners' legal fees.

Washington Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff said Pearson had not proven that the Custom Cleaners dry cleaning shop had actually lost his prized pants.

She also said that Pearson's theory that the owners owed him $54 million because they lost his pants despite a sign that ensures "Satisfaction Guaranteed" had no support in the law.

"A reasonable consumer would not interpret 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' to mean that a merchant is required to satisfy a customer's unreasonable demands," Bartnoff wrote in her ruling.

The case gained national attention after the lawsuit was filed. Pearson, an administrative law judge, drew fire not only from an outraged public, but from trial lawyers and tort reform advocates across the country.

For real?

I just discovered a very valid reason to have IQ testing done on people who are planning on having children. Anyone as dumb or dumber than this couple should be made sterile.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

"For most of us, when we try to figure out what our names mean, we have to look it up in a babies book and ... there's no direct link between the meaning and the name," Pat Wheaton told TV One on Wednesday. "With this name, everyone knows what it means."

But when the parents filed the name with New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, they were told names beginning with a number were against the rules.

The government office has opened negotiations with the parents about the name under a policy that says all unusual names must be given case-by-case consideration.

"The name has not at this stage been rejected," Registrar-General Brian Clarke said in a statement Thursday. "We are currently in discussions with the parents ... to clarify the situation."

Clarke said the rules are designed to prevent names that are "likely to cause offense to a reasonable person." Satan and Adolf Hitler were proposed names that have been declined, he said.

If no compromise has been reached by July 9, the baby will be registered as "real," officials say.

New Zealand law requires all children born in the South Pacific nation to be registered with the Births, Deaths and Marriages registry within two months of birth.

great show!

Michigan man in wheelchair gets wild ride after lodging in semi's grille

PAW PAW, Mich. (AP) - - (06/07/07)-- Police say a Michigan man got the ride of a lifetime after his wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semi-truck and was pushed down a highway.
Police haven't released the name of the man, who was wearing a seat belt. They say he was taken to a hospital yesterday as a precaution.

Police say the man in the wheelchair pulled in front of the truck as it left a gas station in Paw Paw, about 140 miles west of Detroit.

The truck drove about four miles -- at speeds up to 50 miles-per-hour -- before officers stopped the driver, who said he had no idea he had a wheelchair entangled with his truck. Officers say the driver didn't believe it until he stepped from his cab and saw the man.

The 21-year-old in the wheelchair apparently was unfazed by the incident. Police quote him as saying, "It was quite a ride."

Fickle, thy name is....

Here Jon, have one of these.

Sens Lose! Flaming Cattle Tie!

Sens put the lose back in Losers. Flaming Cattle tie second straight.
