This is one of those stories that comes up now and again. A couple of weeks and it will have disappeared.

Like a woman trapped inside a bathroom for two years.
Her skin had grown around the toilet lid.

Americans drop into litigation very, very quickly if there's the potential for a lot of money to be made.

However, saying that some years ago BT tried to take ownership of the web by claiming a prior patent. Imagine if they'd won.
