And don't forget McDonalds sueing McDharmas.  I don't know about you, but
I think it's all getting a little ridiculous about similiar names, and all.
Consider this.  I was in a restaraunt, and they had a little flyer on the
table.  Don't remember exactly who it was, but every phrase (5 of them)
had a registered trade mark symbol next to it.  It's getting unsafe to say
anything without being sued.  One day, anything you say will have to be
qualified by "and [whatever] is a registered trademark of [whoever]".
Phooey on all that.  I love America, land of the lawsuit...
