A Minneapolis woman sued the city because she tripped over an orange traffic cone. She claimed the cone was a hazard, and she should have been better marked. The judge threw the case out, saying that the bright orange cone was, itself, a warning the woman probably should have noticed. He noted that putting orange cones out to mark more orange cones ahead would result in never-ending parades of orange cones.
You have to love this woman though. This woman has bad luck mixed with some poor eyesight, deftly layered atop a desire to strike it rich. Who's to say Isaac Newton wouldn't have done the same thing if he were hit with a blaze orange traffic cone instead of an apple? Past ages required you mix your desire to be wealthy with a good idea and some hard work. Nowadays, play dumb and aim for that well-marked hole in the pavement.
I Heart you.
