ParticipantWhoa I find this absurd. Are you guys litigators?
Stella, for whom the famous Stella Awards for ridiculous lawsuits are named, ordered a hot drink and burned herself with it. Whether 1, 100, or 1000 idiots before her complained of the same thing, it only proves there are a lot of idiots out there.
More about Stella:

The coffee in question was 180 degrees. The National Coffee Association recommends coffee be brewed at “between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction” and drunk “immediately”. If not drunk immediately, it should be “maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Coffee and tea are typically made by boiling or evaporated water (can’t get any hotter than that). Are we to invent some new process so it won’t be so hot?
Is there no such thing as personal liability any more? Is everything someone else’s fault? One thing brought up on that lawsuit was that there wasn’t a “proper warning label” that… DUH… coffee is hot.
I completely side with Mickey D’s on this one and I too would have shrugged off any complaints that “the hot drink I ordered is hot”. whut the fack?

ParticipantI honestly don’t think that this country is ready for a black man to be president. If you live in areas like SD, LA, SF, NY, etc. sure there seem to be a lot of people who are not racist or chauvinist, but the people who always turn up to vote the most are in the southern states. They are more into politics than the “whatever dude, whoever is president doesn’t matter” crowds in cities like SD.
If you’ve been in the south lately, you’ll know what I mean. I don’t even think this country is ready for a woman to be president, but IMO she’d stand a better chance than a black man.
This fact scares me to think that we’ll end up getting whoever else is left once you’ve eliminated the impossible. If we end up with another born-again, evangelical, or other superstitious president it will make the GW Bush years look like an era of enlightenment and truth.

ParticipantNot exactly answering the original question, this relates more to what kewp said: You can go to the bank websites and see what they have for sale. As you can see here, Countrywide has over $3B in foreclosed homes for sale. It does not list homes they own but are not selling, which would be a very interesting statistic indeed. The data in that link comes from Countrwide's own website:
