That's a headline in the paper yesterday. I had to read the article because it just didn't seem like it could possibly be as STUPID as the title implied.
Sadly...it is. A woman is suing Google because she wanted walking directions in Park City, UT. The directions she received were for a busy street w/out sidewalks. Consequently, she was struck by a car. It's all Google's fault because she has no ability to think on her own and must rely on the World Wide Web to tell her what to do. The article didn't mention the name of the medical condition she must have that impedes her ability to process a single thought on her own. Oh wait...it already has a name doesn't it...
stu·pid·i·ty (stōō-pĭd'ĭ-tē, styōō-) n. pl. stu·pid·i·ties

The other mind boggler is that an attorney actually took her case. Hmmmmm. I'm sure there are several hundred jokes that could be inserted here about lawyers...why is that do you suppose? (see above definition)
