pop culture in law school

I love when professors try to spice up materials and drop in pop culture references to 'connect' with their students (the fact that there is a fifty+ guy with a rolling backpack in D2 who only wears law school related t-shirts is something I will discuss another time). My Torts professor is essentially Minerva McGonagall with a death stare I can only hope to emulate some day. I was floating in the peaceful bliss of half-asleep stupor when through the fuzzy pink clouds and ponies of my mind I heard McGongall say: "if Dorothy dropped a house on you and you somehow survived but were terrified of ever going outside again - because you feared another house might drop on you someday - then you can sue Dorothy for emotional distress". Now I was hoping for some pop culture law references in relation to Lohan's jail time or Naomi Campbell's penchant for assaulting the help with phones... but I'll take what I can get at around 8:45 in the morning.

The depressing thing is that hearing a case related back to The Wizard of Oz did take temporarily take away the hurt of having slipped into bed only five hours before. It is the little things that make me happy.
