Man dies at the evil hands of......a shrimp? I would definetely call this an unfortunate series of events.

  • When I die, I'm going to have my family sue my Mother. After all, if she had never given birth to me, I never would have died. The root of all evil is money, no...lawyers...no, money...no, lawyers and money...no.. it's lawyers WANTING money!
  • A furrier, eh? Hope someone made him into a nice coat. Litigious shrimp-snapper!
  • Killer shrimp - the deadly Mantis.
  • Anyone have Larry David's email address? He might be interested in this.
  • Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That's, that's about it. Oh, and ten million dollar shrimp.
  • If "to set in motion a string of events" is to be held legally responsible for all subsequent consequences, then parents and grandparents and great-grandparents and so on are liable for the deeds of their posterity. Be difficult to bring all the guilty parties to court, I'd think.
  • Now you know why God hates shrimp.
  • I think this is retarded! the families people that die unexplained deaths are probably gonna go nuts looking for evidence of what might have caused their death! lol "We're 20 million from Caesar's Cassino for causing the death of grams! The lever was obviously wound to tightly and when she pulled it, a muscle in her lumbar region triggered a spasm, which lead to the break of two vertebrae, which lead to a costly operation in costa rica, which lead to and infection in the torso, which led to bacteria forming in the kidneys, which lead to kidney stones, which lead to her death...yeah...that would be 10 mill please" LOL
  • i hope they win the case. damn shrimp ninjas need to be punished. if they win, i wonder if someone will bring a suit against people who armed and financed certain middle-eastern men in the 1980's...
  • What fish tick said...
  • ...about the coat. *sigh* more coffee please
  • I'm telling you that shrimp flinging is dangerous. We ate at a Japanese place like this before my grad school graduation. The chef flicked a shrimp at me, missing my plate but landing a dish of barbeque sauce. And a little wave of sauce splashed down the front of my dress. Thank god for graduation gowns. Note: I did not sue, nor even ask them to pay for the cleaning bill.
  • How did a case like this even manage to get to court? Isn't there a law against frivolous lawsuits such as this one?
  • I've always had a soft spot for showy hibachi restaurants. When I was a wee monkeylet, I always wanted to go to Benihana on my birthday because I loved the knife-throwing. But as I got older, some of the magic wore off--both the magic of childhood and the actual magic of the show, as the chefs got more and more limited in what they could/would throw. I always knew intellectually why it had happened, but seeing it taken to this extreme is depressing. *sigh*
  • .no.. it's lawyers WANTING money!no, it's tards hiring lawyers because they want money and blame.
  • rogerd... oh, you're right, those lawyers aren't greedy! Sorry, my bad...
  • The guy's name was "Jerry Colaitis." I presume the surname is pronounced the same without the "a".
  • no.. it's lawyers WANTING money! no, it's tards hiring lawyers because they want money and blame. oh, you're right, those lawyers aren't greedy! The Slimeball Lawyer Market is mostly demand-driven, and constantly threatened by over-supply. That's why they advertise on TV so much.
  • This is why I don't eat out in restaurants where food flinging is entertainment. If I want to be assaulted by bits of edibles I'll visit my one year old nephew. hmmm...I wonder if I could sue my girlfriend if while I serviced her she screamed particularly loudly causing my head to snap upwards resulting in injured vertabrae?
  • I think that only works if she snaps your neck between her thighs.
  • serviced?
  • I think I'm going to trade my guard beagle for a mantis shrimp.
  • "I think that only works if she snaps your neck between her thighs." LOL! There's always a clause.
  • ...why I don't eat out in restaurants where food flinging is entettainment.... Or where waiters put ice cubes down your neck, me.
