Just for Fun

Not feeling like any smart-*ss intelligent legal postings today, I've got too much actual legal work to do. So here's the latest fun/non-thinking stuff I've seen around:

Toys for work.

Legal fun:
"A federal judge in Fresno, Calif., has ordered the entire 80-lawyer firm of Lozano Smith back to school for a refresher course in ethics as a sanction for repeated misrepresentation of facts and the law in a dispute over aid for a learning-disabled student."

via Overlawyered.

News flash: Hunter Thompson's suicide is not Bush's fault. (via Salon). Then again, neither is this. (via Dave Barry).

Also via Dave Barry, more real-life legal humor: Former employees of the Gorilla Foundation are suing because, among other things, they were ordered to expose their breasts to keep "Koko," a nipple-fixated gorilla, happy:
"On one such occasion, Patterson said, 'Koko, you see my nipples all the time. You are probably bored with my nipples. You need to see new nipples.'"

Ooookaaay.

Another Barry find: the latest on the adult toy market - singing condoms. A visitor to his site comments: I wonder when it's all over if it plays You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling? I wonder if it's programmable? If so, what would you put in? Would you keep 'short people' on standby, just in case? Okay, I think I'll take a breath and get some coffee now. But feel free to expand on this in the comments.

By the way, both Dweeze and Greenman pointed out that while I had a large post up about proofs for the Hedda poster (it was way more efficient than whipping them back and forth by email), I did neglect to clarify that the "proofs" were rather flattering photographs of me. Greenman does know how to shoot a good picture. So now you know. Is that sufficient, guys?
