    Great....

    How boring would your life have to be to take such a course of action...

    The ultimate stupid courtcase was the 'Are Jaffa Cakes A Cake Or A Biscuit?' one. Because in UK law chocolate covered biscuits (only chocolate covered ones) are are charged VAT and normal biscuits and cakes aren't. So they had to prove that Jaffa Cakes are cakes and not chocolate covered biscuits. They made a giant one to prove it was a cake.

    QI = Ultimate source of useless information. That's probably where I found out about it as well, but I don't remember that that's where I get half of my brain from. This is probably why I don't remember.

    I think that most inhabitants of Lesbos aren't that arsed about it really. It's just three people with chips on their shoulder that seem to think putting this case forward was a good idea.
    Lesbos isn't even called so by most Greeks, so I can't see the problem, myself.

    Is this what "gay for pay" means?

    So does that mean that we have to call them Lesbos? Or are gays going to counter-sue for exclusive use of that term.

    also, why do they always say "gays and lesbians"?

    because there isn't an acceptable word that refers to gay men only. I'm sure many unacceptable ones have been posted on this forum

    Yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Yikes%21

    That makes me wonder if lesbians will sue for exclusive use of that word too.

    I'm waiting for the DVD next month. I read about the episode some time ago. I thought for some reason you were wanting me to paste the article here...

    I think Mrs. Garrison got turned back into a man sometime after that.

    I lost my Cable access, so it's either hope it shows up soon in Syndication or wait for the Season 12 DVD set next year. Garrison's re-sex-change episode is supposed to have something about Cartman teaching Mexican students how to succed like white People: CHEAT. I can't wait to see that one.
