“Extreme”ly Classy
This makes “Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire” look like “Masterpiece Theatre,” at least on the class axis. Diana Christensen would have been proud. (Via TSG.)

Snow in San Francisco
It snowed in San Francisco earlier this week. SFist reprinted a quote from the Chronicle that sums it up nicely:
While snow falls in flakes and looks more like small ice shavings, hail is balls of ice, usually small. If the trees are white, [National Weather Service meteorologist Brooke] Bingaman said, it’s probably snow.
Yes, they needed to print a definition of snow.
California is pretty nifty.

A Terrible Pun
From a case we read in Contracts today, Brookside Farms v. Mama Rizzo’s, Inc., 873 F.Supp. 1029. The case involved Brookside Farms selling basil leaves to Mama Rizzo’s under a contract that prohibited oral modifications, to which oral modifications were made, recorded, and performed on by both parties before the litigation ensued. From pages 1034-35 of the opinion (emphasis and hyperlink added):
For the Court to allow Defendant to invoke the no-oral-modification clause after MRI itself induced and participated in the extended course of action it now complains of would be to convert the sale of basil leaves into a “basil sale carcinoma” that would devour all reasonable commercial standards of behavior between merchants.
Further commentary would be superfluous.

And the award for Most Useless News Alert goes to . . .
. . . CNN, for this pearl of wisdom that just showed up in my inbox:
A long running dispute that threatened to shut down the BlackBerry wireless e-mail service has been settled.
How has it been settled? In whose favor? By what means? Is the settlement confidential? I understand that organizations distributing breaking news need to strike a balance between speed and precision/accuracy (the friend who first informed me of the 9/11 attacks described them as a “bombing,” which was only correct in a highly technical sense), but I think some delay was clearly warranted here.
