*** REPLACE YOUR MESSAGE WITH THIS LINE ***  :-)

Yesterday (10/25) I heard that the inventors of Trivial Pursuit, Horn Abbot 
Ltd. (of Ontario, Canada) were being sued by someone who had written two
trivia books a few years ago.  The man's name escapes me now, but I believe
he lives around the Los Angeles area.  He claims that he had an intentionally
wrong answer in the book, along with some misspellings, which had appeared
in the game.  The lawsuit amount, if I remember correctly, was $300 million.
(Sigh....everyone wants to get in on the action.)

I'm sorry if this has been posted already by someone else; news of this hasn't
reached gort (the informal name of sunybcs) yet. (i.e. I may not have a scoop.)
