[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1083099, member: 18945"] I've seen the pictures before--this isn't the first forum the case has been discussed on. There are some basics in life-electrical wall outlets will kill you if you stick a apair of tweezers in them--knives and scissors are sharp--don't run with them. The woman was 70--that's simply a red herring. You'd think in 6+ decades, she would have learned one of the basics in life. Both my sisters and both my brothers-in-law are over 70 and I'm not far from it. We know something. Coffee is hot. I just warmed some up for 1 minute in the microwave--guess what? It came out boiling hot--just like it's supposed to--just like I knew it would. If I splill it on MYSELF I am not going to sue GE because they made the microwave. The judge lowered the award because he understood, she had to bear at least part of the blame--it isn't like the McD's employee threw it on her. She spilled it on herself, found a sympathetic judge and jury and now, when I go thru a drive thru in the mornings and get a cup of coffe in January, I get a cup of coffee that is pizz warm, because this woman was successful in her lawsuit. Welcome to the nanny state. Play stupid games--win stupid prizes. [/QUOTE]
