    Sea World Sued Over Insufficient Warnings

    WEST PALM BEACH, Florida - Remember back when a man was found dead and naked in the pool with a killer whale at Sea World? Now, months after he decided to "swim" in the perilous buff, his parents are filing a suit against Sea World because they failed to adequately post that swimming in the pool with killer whales was dangerous.


    In 1995 Leon Taylor, convicted of murdering a man during a 1994 robbery in Kansas City, Missouri, was sentenced to death, PLUS life in prison, with an additional 315 years tacked on for good measure.

    The best one i ever heard was about the airline that was sued because a guy ate one of those small packets of peanuts they give you.

    Turns out he was allergic to nuts and nearly died. He sued the airline saying there was insufficient warning labels on the packet.
    He won. Next time your on a plane and get a packet of peanuts check the pack itll have a warning label saying may contain nut traces (Fecking americans)
