Ten Days Later....

Okay, so I'm late....sue me. Not like this thing is rewriting the blog-o-sphere with new and blisteringly exciting ideas. :D

Anyhoo......

I've decided to ease up on political stuff; mainly because others write about it more a lot better than I do, plus whenever something 'politically minded' crops up, too many other things come up around the same time, and I can't really keep up. When something I find interesting pops up, though, I will mention it, but otherwise, not so much.

Moving on.....

PepsiCo got sued by two guys who claimed that *they* were the ones who came up with the idea for bottling water for sale back in the early '80s. Seems a secretary in Pepsi's legal office didn't take the letter seriously (or, as PC said, "Was so busy it wasn't properly filed"). The end result? Pepsi didn't show up in court, and LOST THE CASE. To the tune of $1.26 BILLION!!! Of course, it goes without saying that they're appealing it; and, saying that they have a 'strong defense' for it, and that, besides, the plaintiffs didn't serve the papers properly anyway, so there!
Going to be interesting to see which way this falls, though.

Either way, someone lost a job over it....
