Stardate 20010909.0556 (On Screen): Cue the lawyers. A professor in NYC send letters to 240 restaurants claiming that he'd suffered food poisoning, in order to find out what they'd do. I suspect some of them are going to sue him for defamation, since he was lying and since it will be demonstrable in court that he was deliberately lying. In as much as those places spent real money (and quite a lot of it) to investigate his claim, they will be able to prove real damages. What was he thinking, anyway? The school's dean says that this professor's "future at the school was unclear." Actually, it ought to be very clear: he should be booted. This was completely irresponsible.
