Somehow, I can just picture Kate Mock as being that little girl...

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"

The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"

One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'"

The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

One hour, forty-five minutes.....

I think most everyone will remember the "McDonald's Coffee Incident," where some Lady spilled coffee on herself and got millions of dollars 'cause it was hot.

I've always been one of the ones to take this as a disgusting example of how the Legal system has been twisted, and the general feeling of irresponsibility for one's own actions that seems prevelant in American Society. Me and my brothers even joked about it - duh, of course the coffee's hot. What, do you want it cold?

This all seems rather ignorant, now. Lurking on BlackManXy's journal, I found an article that sheds new light on the subject. It may be worth a read.
