jmcgready’s misc universe

<strong>Mark Frauenfelder</strong>:
Wanita Renea Young, 49, or Durango, Colorado was frightened out of her wits when her neighbors, two girls aged 17 and 18, knocked on her door to leave a gift of freshly baked cookies on her porch. She checked herself into the hospital the next day, fearing she had suffered a heart attack as a result of the girl's thoughtless act.

<p>The girls offered to pay the medical bills, but Young took the matter to court. She sued the girls, winning a $900 judgment. The other neighbors who got cookies that night foolishly didn't sue the girls like clever Ms. Young; instead they wrote letters to the court praising the miscreants for their actions. <a href="http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/nationworld/articles/1229527.html">Link</a> <em>(Thanks, Dan!)</em> <br clear="all">
