Good! I hope a few of the trustees on the school board loose their jobs over this. It's probably too much to hope that Mr. Dorval will be re-instated with full pay, back-pay and an apology.

Stop stand-up urination for men, Swedish politicians urge - Your Community

It should be interesting to see if this passes in their legislature. We shall see.

When my son went to preschool, he was always told "use your words and not your fists".

I misread it the first time.

How Aunt Jemima changed trademark law in the United States....



Quote:
To us, the case is a clear-cut trademark violation. At the time, though, the Aunt Jemima Mills Company was really going out on a limb. Prior to this case trademark infringement happened when another company was selling the same product under the same name. Lawyer Harry D. Nims explained it like this in a 1922 issue of advertising magazine Printer’s Ink:
Perhaps 15 years ago, it would not have occurred to an attorney to attempt to stop such a use of trademark because it would have been said that it was absurd to suppose that a person seeking pancake flour would buy a can of syrup and be satisfied. Recently the business world has come to realize that such an act as that of that syrup company was an attempt to appropriate the goodwill, the popularity, the celebrity of the Aunt Jemima Mills Co. and pay nothing for it, the business world has come to see that the owner of the goodwill in Aunt Jemima pancake flour may be most seriously damaged by the sale of an inferior “Aunt Jemima syrup.”
(Mental Floss)

...and for those interested in the woman who personified Aunt Jemima - she was Nancy Greene, a woman born into slavery who became a living trademark.

Seems as though we're all geniuses... we just need a good smack upside the head...

Jason Padgett Sustains Brain Injury in Attack, Becomes Math Genius

Quote:
Jason Padgett, a 41-year-old college dropout who worked at a futon store, sustained a brain injury during a mugging at a karaoke club in Tacoma - the muggers were after his $99 leather jacket. Little did he know that this brain injury would change his life completely. A day or two after the injury, Jason began seeing "bits and pieces of the Pythagorean theorem everywhere." He's currently working with MIT researchers on developing a fractal energy source
