Causes you to shit your pants, so yes. WATER CAN STAIN  

 

H2O can 'stain' if the surface is already dirty. It can clean a spot off or dissolve the dirt and move it around.

Uh oh. I made a clean spot here. Now I've done it. Guess I'll just have to do the whole thing.

Ah yes, The dreaded spot specific "un"stain. Interesting how this concept opens new possibilities for "un"cleaning a stain. Instead of washing the Dr Pepper stain, treat the entire seat to a fresh coat of Dr Pepper. Done & Done.

Utah court lets woman sue herself over fatal wreck

 

A Utah woman will be the plaintiff and the defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit that has legal experts scratching their heads.

 

Barbara Bagley was driving her family's Range Rover Dec. 27, 2011 on Interstate 80 near Battle Mountain, Nev., when it slid on sagebrush on Interstate 80, and flipped. Her husband, Bradley Vom Baur, was sent flying from the vehicle, suffered major injuries and died nearly two weeks later in a hospital, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Bagley, 48, suffered a concussion, broken ribs, a shattered wrist and two punctured lungs. One of her dogs, a Shetland sheepdog named Dooley, ran from the scene and wandered the desert for 53 days before being found.

 

Now, a Utah court has ruled Bagley, the representative of her late husband's estate, may sue Bagley the driver in the fatal accident for wrongful death. In her suit, Bagley accuses herself of being negligent for failing to maintain a proper lookout and to keep her vehicle under proper control.

No one shall be permitted to profit by his own fraud, or to take advantage of his own wrong, or to found any claim upon his own iniquity, or to acquire property by his own crime. These maxims are dictated by public policy, have their foundation in universal law administered in all civilized countries, and have nowhere been superseded by statutes." In other words, the court decided that public policy required it to read the statute to bar Palmer's claim.


 


The Riggs court didn't come up with this idea on its own. The principle is much older and is still around today, although most states have codified it in statutes. For instance, Scott Peterson, a convicted killer, was recently prevented from receiving benefits under his wife's life insurance policy by California Probate Code section 252:


A named beneficiary of a bond, life insurance policy, or other contractual arrangement who feloniously and intentionally kills the principal obligee or the person upon whose life the policy is issued is not entitled to any benefit under the bond, policy, or other contractual arrangement, and it becomes payable as though the killer had predeceased the decedent.


 


This is one form of what is called a "slayer statute." California has statutes preventing killers from inheriting from their victims, obtaining title to land by murdering a joint tenant, or receiving life insurance benefits from policies insuring their victims, and includes a catchall for "any case not described . . . in which one person feloniously and intentionally kills another." In such cases, the statute says, "any acquisition of property, interest, or benefit by the killer as a result of the killing of the decedent shall be treated in accordance with the principles of this part." Every state has a similar slayer statute or a common-law slayer rule, according to research discussed by the Supreme Court of Alabama in Plumley v. Bledsoe (2005).
