"As if anyone needed to be told that coffee is hot."

So if accidently someone heated coffee up to 300 F and then served it, your answer would be the same?

[Darksheare]

Not teh point.
The woman who poured the coffee in her lap and claimed mental anguish due to loss of use of her husband wasn't scalded by 300 degree coffee.
If you had bothered reading further down, you'd see that there have been multiple instances people fraudulently claiming injury.
Besides, NO WOMAN IN HER RIGHT MIND WOULD ADMIT THAT SHE LOST THE USE OF HER HUBAND FOR SEX.
Or didn't you understand that either?
