 Can only happen in America

Charlotte, North Carolina:

A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire

Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires.

The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

The lawyer sued.. And WON! (Stay with me)

Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars lost in the "fires”.

NOW FOR THE BEST PART..

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.

This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent

Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

ONLY IN AMERICA!

Pearls as an accessory holds its ground with whatever you wear it….   Valuable pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. These are called Natural Pearls . They are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. They come in many shapes with perfectly round ones being comparatively rare. Single natural pearls are often sold as a...

Spiders Facts

Certain female species of spiders such as the Australian crab spider, sacrifice their bodies as a food source for their offspring. Some male spiders pluck their cobwebs like a guitar, to attract female spiders. Fried spiders taste like nuts. The largest spider ever was the Megarachne which had a diameter of 50 cm. The fossil was found in Argentina. The bite from a black widow spider is not automatically fatal. In fact, less than 1% of all people bitten by this spider run the risk of dying, and most of them are saved with the use of antivenin. The skeleton of a spider is located on the outside of the body. Spiders usually have eight eyes, but still they cannot see that well. There are about 35,000 species of spiders. Spiders have claws at the ends of their legs. Only the female black widow spider has a poisonous bite. The male spider's venom is not poisonous and it does not attack its prey. Of the 35,000 species of spiders, only 27 species are known to have caused human fa...
