Welcome to the many people who appear to be visiting via the Bing link on MSN’s “Bizarre Lawsuits” feature.  As it happens, the story MSN has linked to—the Dumouchel family’s threat to sue its cable company for giving it free cable, thus allegedly causing its members to become fat and lazy—is something that happened in 2004 (I wrote about it here in 2006).  While I dearly love that story, you should not miss out on the many odd legal disputes that have arisen over the past six years, and so if you want some more light Friday reading, here’s the link to the relevant category of posts.

Thanks for visiting.
