Wich they put in because some dumb bitch (meaning the pet owner of course) in America put her dog in the microwave to dry after washing him. She filed a law suit, and somehow won...

[color=ff7700]Don't remember where I got that story from, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't your professor :)
I wasn't in university yet when I heard it, and I've always assumed it really happened. In a country where people sue Mac Donalds because eating their food makes them fat, nothing can seem too strange.[/color]
