Geek-Tastic
I have found the geekiest thing in the universe. It's geekier than the Star Trek wiki. It's geekier than Penny Arcade! It's the "Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Are You?" quiz! Holy Bat Pancakes!
Because Title V is boring. It's the administrative personnel stuff, and I had to study parts of it for work. It's the most boring title in the Code of Federal Regulations, and you know that's stiff competition. The only interesting title is Title IX, which is actually a John LeCarre novel that Dennis Hastert liked so much, he slipped it into the '03 defense appropriations bill.
YOU ARE 28 UNITED STATES CODE SECTION 1332!Take note, Emily, Queen of the Unusual Internet Quiz (like this one): I don't know what Rule of Civil Procedure you are, but I'll bet large amounts of money you aren't anything in Title V!
You are not a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure at all: you're the statute that allows the federal district courts to hear diversity of citizenship actions! You were drafted with the idea that an out-of-state party may be unduly prejudiced by appearing in a foreign state. Sometimes people may think that you're strange, and they try to minimalize your effects by requiring an amount in controversy and by being especially strict on the requirements for diversity. Also, attorneys often use you for "forum shopping" and other undesirable behavior. But there's no getting around the fact that you're so darned loveable! Your delightful quirkiness entertains friends and law professors alike, and although others may grumble about your eccentricities behind your back, they're always talking about you, so you must be doing something right. Let's face it, the world could use a few more 28 USC 1332's!

Speaking of geeks, saw "Match Point" last night. Good movie, best in sometime by Woody, but not up there with his very best. - UT critic

A VERY HIGHLY recommended (by me) book to read: "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. - UT book lover
