And a few people need to be slapped upside the head with a 2 x 4.

...“Anybody who’s in the trades or construction knows that,” (that a 2x4 isn't actually 2"x4") said Tim Stich, a carpentry instructor at Milwaukee Area Technical College.
True enough, said Yevgeniy (Eugene) Turin of McGuire Law, the firm that represents the plaintiffs in both cases.
However, Turin and his clients dispute that the differences between nominal descriptions and actual dimensions are common knowledge.
“It’s difficult to say that for a reasonable consumer, when they walk into a store and they see a label that says four-by-four, that that’s simply — quote unquote — a trade name,” Turin said in an interview..."
Just don't get me going on plywood..

I don't know much about class actions, or this area of law, but IMO this is a loser. Doesn't everyone know that?

Crooow:This music would work better with women in bikinis shaking all over the place. I guess that's true of any music really.
Really? You had to ask this?
But I know what a collar stay is.
well, even though that only applies in California, that ruling would certainly embolden other plaintiff's attorneys to try the same thing.
Good, good. Now lets try setting up a tent.
I now pitch the biggest tent in the Lodge.
Well **** I have nothing on you now.
What is wrong with ' and " ? Don't they teach math in in California? Do they require surveyors to us deg., min., and sec.?

This is a normal part of the koshering process for lumber, no?
You know, I learned about 'dimensioned' lumber in a junior high woodshop class circa 1961. It's hard for me to believe that anyone with one eye, half sense, and a tape measure wouldn't know this on their own if they were working with, or planning to work with, commercially available lumber. My problem is that I live in a house built in 1940 and much of the original wood is full-dimension and can't be replaced without custom sawing.

And now we go from $2.50 studs to $5.00 studs. The lawyers win, everybody else pays. So stupid.
Yes, but it requires a mohel to plane your wood.

Duh!
Pile of lumber
(trying to save Mike from having to look something up)
In my personal defense, I never took wood shop.
Auto, electric, metals, drafting and printing. I still get nightmares were my trays of tiny little letters get knocked over.
So, increase in my Jew score?
We thank you for your consideration..

8 of 15, Sadly, not a Jew.
Come on, that's 53%!
I don't want to start talking to Shawn about converting to Mormonism.
I'll have to ask the quorum of 12 about that. I mean, you aren't a person of color but then again you aren't blonde. Do you have any English blood lines?
On the other hand, screw all of that. Give them 10% of you income (pre-tax) and you're in!
