The Truth:
There is a difference between hot coffee and scalding coffee not safe to drink let alone accidentally spill on you skin.
On February 27, 1992, Stella Liebeck, a 79-year-old woman from Albuquerque, New Mexico, ordered a 49 cent cup of coffee from the drive-through window of a local McDonald’s restaurant. Liebeck was in the passenger’s seat of her Ford Probe, and her nephew Chris parked the car so that Liebeck could add cream and sugar to her coffee. Stella placed the coffee cup between her knees and pulled the far side of the lid toward her to remove it. In the process, she spilled the entire cup of coffee on her lap. Liebeck was wearing cotton sweatpants; they absorbed the coffee and held it against her skin, scalding her thighs, buttocks, and groin. Liebeck was taken to the hospital, where it was determined that she had suffered third-degree burns on six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent. She remained in the hospital for eight days while she underwent skin grafting. During this period, Liebeck lost 20 pounds (nearly 20% of her body weight), reducing her down to 83 pounds.Two years of medical treatment followed.

I think I would have sued too. There is no reason to serve and old woman boiling hot coffee in her car without warning.

It’s ‘The Times’, not ‘The London Times’. It was the first paper to be a ‘Times’ of anywhere, and because of this, it gets the right to just be known as ‘The Times’. It’s the same as the moon, we don’t call it ‘Earth moon’, even though there are moons around other planets. Because it was the first one discovered.

It’s funny that when someone dies, people only remember the good things about their life. Common Sense was also full of it a lot of the time. For example:

The earth is not flat.
The earth is moving.
The earth is not at the center of the universe.
The sun does not move around the earth.
Volcanoes, rain, thunder and lightning are not caused by gods.
An airplane is not too heavy to fly.

The problem with Common Sense is that it was common, and most people are full of it.
