Lawsuit Claims LegalZoom Is Practicing Law Without a License 246
Bob the Super Hamste writes "Fortune has an interesting piece about a federal class action law suit against LegalZoom claiming that its software is illegally practicing law without a license. The law suit seeks to recover money from LegalZoom for every resident in Missouri who has used LegalZoom regardless of how satisfied the users were of the service. Currently Missouri law states that an individual who paid money to a non lawyer for legal services is entitled to sue the provider for 3 times the amount paid."

Lesson: Never automate a lawyers or a congressman job. You can automate and outsource the entire rest of the country, but if you even look wrong at those professions you will be sued out of existence.
Dead men don't sue.

A woman goes to her gynecologist for her regular exam. While there, the doctor asks if she has any questions, or has been experiencing anything unusual.
"Well doctor, my husband has been asking more and more for anal sex. But I'm just not sure if it's safe."
The doctor starts telling her that this is perfectly fine, and done correctly, anal sex can be pain free and enjoyable. "Just make sure he uses a condom when you do it, to help prevent pregnancy," he said.
"Pregnancy?" she asked, confused. "I didn't think you could get pregnant from anal sex."
"Of course," he stated. "Where do you think lawyers come from?"
