Meanwhile in Vancouver, the Canucks hope to use some home ice advantage to tie up the series. Continue reading

It’s time for all the news that’s not fit for print. It’s the Not News of the Week.
It’s the frivolous lawsuit of the week: An Indianapolis man is suing a convenience store chain for $11.5 Million of lottery winnings that he never won. The 70-year-old man picked the winning numbers of a draw in February 2008 but never got a ticket because the store’s clerk refused to sell him a ticket with only a few minutes before the cutoff.

So the lesson is that we should all fill out a stack of play sheets with every possible combination of numbers and then sue for the winnings of the ticket we didn’t actually buy. Continue reading
