Sunday SMH

In the Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday there was a comment about a book called “Court in the Act” which is a collection of some of the best court room exchanges in Australia over the years. Angus and Robertson Bookworld have the book available through their online store for about $22 and I have just ordered myself a copy, with some other books. But, they also mentioned another book called “Disorder in the American Courts”. According to this book, the following exchange took place:-

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No
Q: So, then, is it possible that the paitient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting in a jar on my desk.
Q: But could the paitient have still been alive, nevertheless?
A: Yes! It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

More work…

As much as I would like to continue this I have more work to do and it must be finished today. I wish I actually got a paid for this delivery, but since I got paid for it at the beginning of december I cant complain too much I guess.

Whilst we are at it…

Whilst we are at it, there is an interesting article in the SMH today by Lisa Pryor. I dont know that I agree with all of it, but it certainly is a good read
