Frenchman takes Google to court over urination

Frenchman takes Google to court over urination image.

I don't like those camera-cars that are around, just feel it is an invasion of privacy and also gives folk with bad intent a good view of potential 'opportunities'

I find it hard to believe a Frenchman is embarassed at being caught weeing in his own garden! BUT I do agree that the image is an invasion of privacy.
I remember watching the film "enemy of the state" many years ago with my kids. I questioned the credibility that satellite imaging could be so detailed; my kids laughed at my naivety then, and things have advanced considerably since. I'm NOT a fugitive from the law, but I like my privacy; it's all quite disturbing.

Computer Diagnosis

One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really hurt. His friend suggested that he go toa computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.

"Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10." Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After abrief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed:"You have tennis elbow.Soak your arm in warm water.Avoid heavy lifting.It will be better in two weeks."

Later that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled.He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction. He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:

"Your tap water is too hard.Get a water softener.Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins.Your daughter is using cocaine.Put her in a rehabilitation clinic.Your wife is pregnant with twin girls.They aren't yours.Get a lawyer.And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better."
