Well, let's see, there was that class-action suit against a chemical
company for poisoning a town's water supply, that springs to mind--
Speaking personally, my own dad is currently living off of a malpractice
suit from when doctors misdiagnosed his stroke as a brain tumor, leaving
most of it un- or mistreated, and with limited motor or written-word
ability...

Oh, and then, like I said, there were those widescreen fans who went to
court claiming that "Yellow Submarine" wasn't *really* "original ratio"
as advertised, because they cut a little bit off the top and bottom. :)
