does anyone else think this is funny?

from one of the briefs i read during my week o cite-checking fun.

"Dr. X* suggests that the Institution* set the [standards] far too stringently because greater pollution concentrations are purportedly seen in disparate locations such as food courts, copier machine rooms, and the People's Republic of China."


*names have been changed to protect the innocent (and guilty)

Excellent. Is that from a paper you were grading or something. What does Dr. X say about copy rooms and food courts that are actually in the PRC?

megara, it's from a brief that was filed in one of the cases i'm working on. dr x was saying that the emissions from the company he represents have much less impact than copy rooms, food courts and the people's republic of china.
