Makes me think of the woman suing McD's because she spilled
hot coffee on herself, Seems it is getting so everyone wants to
screw someone for their mistakes.
That case has had a lot of press, but there's more to it than "coffee
is hot, deal with it".

The coffee was absorbed into the woman's sweatpants and held next to
her skin. McD's keeps their coffee at 185 degrees, while most other
places keep theirs at 140 or so. At 155 or less, the coffee would
have been cool enough to avoid causing a serious burn. At the higher
temperature, it caused third-degree burns over 6 percent of her body,
bad enough that she needed skin grafts. Initially she tried to
settle out of court for $20000, but McD's refused.


On the other hand, McDonanlds has served 10 billion cups of coffee and
she is one of very few that had a problem. Typically that proportion
suggests the problem lies with the user not the provider.

Same as Microsoft Windows.

It was all Bush's fault ...
