Henry Walker says he shattered his hip buying a watermelon at Walmart. An Alabama jury awarded him $7.5 million. - The Washington Post
The US legal system and this culture of suing is just so damn weird. Probably not even the strangest case this week, but this one made it onto the google news headlines at the right time for me to notice it ... I mean, from the title i at least expected him to grab a melon, 50 more being dislodged and him breaking his hip frantically dodging them and crashing into a concrete column or sth. (Also, dear Washington Post: He most certainly did not break his hip while buying the melon. He broke it while trying to grab it from the display. And i sincerely doubt he ended up buying it  I wonder if an Editor nowadays sees this and says to himself "ah fuck it, no one cares".)

If he had ordered his watermelon from Amazon Prime, none of this ever would have happened. Two day wait for the watermelon, though.

idk, that doesn't scream anything to me. Maybe a little convoluted, could have been worded slightly differently, but how is it not sexually explicit? Cause it has the word sex in it?

To be fair it happens all the time in society. We see it in movies, television, social media. Like I said, it's not the best example for a test question, but the 'people' aren't in high school necessarily. My kids, FR/SO probably wouldn't bat an eyelash at such a thing. The question itself wouldn't be the focal point of the problem. The problem itself would be. I would hope the class would have gotten a good laugh out of it.

I didn't realize there was a difference in definition of polygamy re: marriage and civil unions.
I think in the US a person is not allowed to have multiple civil unions at the same time? So this must be a Brazilian thing? Or am I mistaken? Ronaldinho Reportedly Will Marry His 2 Fiancees in August Ceremony | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights Quote:

Earlier today from the frequently entertaining SO a few minutes from my house
Oconee County Georgia Sheriff's Office Units are responding to a report of a topless female shoplifter running from Walmart. No further description was given, but we presume she’ll be the only topless woman running down Epps Bridge Road.

Wow! So... It appears this original story, which was widely publicized and joked about - even though each story contained slightly different facts - actually had some kernel of truth, and this is the end of that (not so funny anymore) weird story. There are enough similar facts that this has to be what the original story was based on.
