Someone else got my message, now I can rest. Just so you know, Iā€™m also the one who was giving random traffic directions too. I had SO much fun free-associating and getting that Groucho stuff. (I saw a film with him in it last night, where he played a sailor. It was disturbing, I tell you.) And as for the LaBrea Tar Pits, I just found a recording of ā€œPico and Sepulvedaā€ (Dr. Demento song) thanks to a thread in the BBQ Pit. And yes, I have a cat named Henry, and he has six toes. I canā€™t explain the beaded evening gown, though. ---

Siplin had invited Wilkins to her mountain cabin in 1985 to have sex but, found the trial court, failed to warn Wilkins that her husband was a violent man. Siplinā€™s husband broke in and stabbed Wilkins 17 times. As she was taking Wilkins to the hospital, she happened to mention that her husband had acted this way several times -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 ā€“ In September, Michael Potkul, 33, won a $400,000 malpractice award against surgeon Dominic A. Brandy in Pittsburgh. Brandy had convinced Potkul that he could give him a nearly full head of hair by surgically (in six operations) grabbing the hairy back of his scalp and stretching it over the thin-haired top of his head. Potkul suffered such pain and depression by the fifth operation that he attempted suicide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1991 ā€“ In March, gourmet Howard Schaeffer, 46, received a $1.1 million award from a New York City jury, which believed that a traffic accident had caused him to lose his senses of smell and taste. Asked why he continues to weigh over 200 pounds, Schaeffer said he has found other ways to enjoy food: ā€œItā€™s amazing how quickly you can get into texture.ā€ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 ā€“ Last year, Bobby Hughes won $800,000 from a lower court in Virginia to cover injuries he suffered when he tripped over a railroad trestle. He was trespassing at the time, and his major injuries were scraped hands and knees. In January 1994, the Virginia Supreme Court overturned the award. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1997 ā€“ Dale L. Larsonā€™s $41,000 trial-court award was upheld by a Wisconsin appeals court in October, which agreed with the trial court that the Indianhead golf course in Wausau was 51 percent responsible for Larsonā€™s needing nine root canals and 23 dental crowns. Larson tripped on his golf spikes and fell hard on his face on a brick path outside the clubhouse, and he argued that he wouldnā€™t have fallen if it had been a smooth concrete sidewalk rather than a brick path. The trial court had found that only 49 percent of the accident was due to Larsonā€™s having consumed 13 drinks that evening, which left him with a blood-alcohol level of 0.28 90 minutes after the fall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1993 ā€“ In October, a federal appeals court upheld a $325,000 jury award to Robert Fischer, who had claimed that an electrical shock he received from a Pepsi-Cola machine in Omaha, Neb., in 1987 had left him impotent. Fischerā€™s wife was awarded $35,000 for loss of services. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1991 ā€“ A General Motors assemly line worker in Oshawa, Canada, won an award from the Workers Compensation Appeals Triubunal in February for job stress after being told by his foreman that he had a bad body odor. The man will receive about $3,000 in benefits after having complained about the loss of appetite, lack of sleep and sexual dysfunctions caused by the foremanā€™s claim. That looks to me like someone did a search for the word ā€œawardā€ on [News of the Weird](http://www.newsoftheweird.com), and pasted some of the results. (the reason I know is that I did searches on the site before, and still do sometimes) ---

Life is short. Donā€™t carry grudges. Forgive and move on. If you treat everyone with kindness and respect, most people will do the same to you. If not, donā€™t take it personally. Move on.
