    Hey don't rip on Diet Coke .

    So true! Our nation is a bit backwards at times (actually most of the time). As an architect, I get to deal with lots of these types of things, like the handicap spots at the skating rink. I have clients that will pay for the entire home to be paved with marble and granite, but heaven forbid they have to pay $5 more than was expected, for a light fixture.

    We are a bunch of weirdos , but I guess that makes life more interesting. Frustrating, too!

    Here's another one :

    Only in America, will people sue you, and win, when they break into your house and hurt themselves doing it (This actually happens more often than you'd think!).
