Loving American lawyers


I know this is a little late with a story, but it did make me laugh yesterday.

Viacom, an American media firm, has decided that it will sue Google and YouTube for £1 billion dollars.

Queue thoughts of Dr. Evil.

The bit that make me laugh is how they came to such a large and exact sum. In my mind I can see the lawyers sitting around and thinking of a stupidly bit number, one spits it out, another doubles it, another adds some zeroes and hey presto, $1 billion. Then they all sit back and dream about the fees....

Most of a lawyers working life is filled with the mundane.The legal eagles are on a vast ego trip, a perfectly understandable hike out of the land of legal tedium.

Hedgy - well they do, but this is still afantastic fingure in the air number to come out with.

Newmania - Surley insurance is a more wholesome trade than that!
