I think there have been plenty of cases where idiots who ignored clear warning signs and injured themselves have successfully sued the property owners. Sadly.

The Three Musketeers were actually elite gunmen, that's why their called musketeers. I don't see any problem.

A musketeer was originally anyone with a musket and the knowledge to use it actually. The whole point was these NON elite people could take down trained armored knights with minimal training.

When I worked at a fuel station a taxi driver of about that size would regularly come in. He'd pull up, pop the boot, struggle out of the driver seat, sit in the open boot to HAVE A REST BECAUSE HE WAS WORN OUT before then waddling over to use the bowser. When coming in to pay he'd lean on the counter and just flick his card to me because he was struggling to simply breathe and stand at the same time let alone use the eftpos pad.

I'm talking cheese, tomatoes, onions, chili, chopped up bits of other hot dogs, jalapeños, fries, etc. And then ALL the flavors of slushy mixed together. A man like that deserves the very best.

Well it depends on how much trespassing occurred and how much work was put into securing the site. Someone falls into a big open pit in the middle of an unlit field and the owner is liable; someone jumps a well-built fence with proper warning signs and falls into a highly visible well-lit pit and it's a different story. :sperg:

If you make something TOO interesting people'll want to head in to it as well. I remember that coming up in a liability law class i took.

I wonder if the (at least) one they got wrong on the British side is deliberate. sidewalk is not footpath, the correct answer there is "Pavement".

Pretty sure this one's on Australia or New Zealand actually. In Britain neither eftpos (card machine, most commonly) or bowser (pump) are used commonly.

Sometimes my husband or close friends have to translate my Australian for other Americans. A South African colleague of mine said someone had "buggered off" and I was the only one who knew what she means. Sadly "yall" has made it into my vocabulary though, drat the south.
