O'Melveny & Myers (the law firm where that author used to practice as an attorney) will be interested to hear that he knows nothing about the law. They might be interested to know that he doesn't see a problem with lying about what laws mean then, since he is quite clearly wrong on several points. Prolonged contact? My first numbers, I admit, were off. However, it takes less then two seconds at the temperature that coffee was. Chibi Merrow said: Well, personally, I wouldn't drink coffee that hot. That's why I either 1) let it oool or 2) mix cold milk into it. Like a sensible person. And when I spill coffee on my hand (which I often do ascending/descending stairs) I don't blame the barista for serving it to me so hot. I'm happy that it's that hot so that when I get back to my office it's still warm. At no point do I put it near anything I value (such as my laptop or genitals [not necessarily in that order]) that could be sensitive to its heat and/or wetness. Carrying hot coffee in between one's legs does not deserve $630k. It deserves the expected result of removing one's self from the breeding population. Unfortunately, being 79, we were probably too late... -- -Merrow Had you spilt it on yourself while going downstairs you'd be in hospital right now, since I doubt you could: Realise what had happened, figure out what to do, then strip in anything less then 5 seconds. Yet you'd have no issue with the resulting hospitalization? None at all? You'd accept that it's perfectly fine for something to be sold at a temperature that causes permanent, irreversible, and potentially deadly (Certainly very disabling) injuries after brief contact, because some customers might possibly like it that hot?
