Then some dumbass would try to get the judge into trouble for an "unfair" trial.

you know, now that we're on the subject of animals in microwaves, there's a woman my mom knows, she's dumb as dirt, but they have a pet frog, in a tank with rocks, and water.  (it's a water frog).  anyway, the one time she decided to change the frog's water, but instead of putting room-temperature water in, she put water from the FRIDGE... she didn't think that the frog wouldn't like water that was close to freezing, but when the put the frog back in the tank, he just floated on the water, didn't move (probably frozen!)... so (listen to this), she put the tank in the microwave (with the frog in it)! for a minute or so

can you believe that?

funny thing is, the frog was fine after that.  once the water heated up a bit, he started swimming around, and the frog's still alive today!

He's not telling you about the laser eyes.

usually when i put an animal in the microwave, it is usually my intention to get a splatter effect.

Seemed to work when FOX sued Al Franken.

Was there merit in the case?  I don't remember it so, please, refresh my memory.  

I was really talking about one suburbanite yuppie suing another for dumping his yard cuttings over the fence or somesuch and asking hundreds of thousands or millions in damages and other BS like that.

[aldo_14]

They sued him for having a book called "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right", because Fox has trademarked "Fair and Balance".  I don't know who deserves a bigger kicking - Fox or the person that let them trademark "Fair and Balanced" (and isn't there a body in the US which stops false advertising...................?).

If it's trademarked I'd be a little fuzzy, but since that's a fairly common part of the language, I'd be prone dismiss.  

The reason FN is assumed to be biased the other way is because they actually present both sides of the issue.  You can't point at The O'Rielly Factor or Hannity & Colmes as an example of their bias because those are magazine/commentary shows like Larry King/60 Minutes is.  Something else of note, Foxnews now has officially more veiwership that the CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC combined.  So they must be doing something right.

When I rule Britain, I'm gonna force stupid cases to go to trial and observe them very carefully.

Then if the ****tard wins, I'll have him, his barrister and the Judge taken out and horse-whipped in the middle of town.

[Kosh]

no it's only (mainly) in america... because you have those greedy idiots who will sue for literally anything they can make money from.

If it's trademarked I'd be a little fuzzy, but since that's a fairly common part of the language, I'd be prone dismiss.

Fox sued only because Oreilly forced them to. He didn't like how Al exposed some of his lies. Considering how Oreilly reacted to some of the things Al said, I think there is in fact some truth to Al's statements.

That is 100% BS. Fox is nothing more than a rightwing propaganda network. I've seen Greenpeace do a better job at presenting both sides of an arguement than Fox.

Oh, I suppose CNN or (P)MS-NBC are shining examples of journalism?

BTW, a lot leader-type enviromentalist whackos nutjobs at Greenpeace were proclaiming that we'd all be dead due to pollution and Global Warming by now.  In fact, according to their statments in the late 70's-early 80's, even the bacteria should have had a lethal case of sunburn by now.  So yourself.

I never said that, you did. The BBC is better than both.

Any links to back that up? If not then you are probably just making that stuff up.

This can only go downhill.
