On our company intranet web page there is a section for "Industry News". Since today is April 1 they did silly news stories. I found this one hard to believe, but google confirmed it.

Are six sided STOP signs optional?

University of Manitoba professor Rod Yellon's appeal of his 1998 traffic ticket for running a stop sign was rejected in February, and it appears he will now have to pay the fine, equal to about US$35.

Yellon's strategy alternated between complaining of being oppressed and boycotting court proceedings, and in fact he was convicted in absentia. He refuses to pay the ticket because he thinks the word "stop" on a stop sign is too vague and that the government should set precisely calibrated standards of what it means to "stop."

Perhaps he can hire Bill Clinton is available to be his legal council. Of course, that depends on the meaning of the word "is".

I've seen plenty of people who think they're optional.

I know the stop signs aren't optional. I'm not stoopid. I find it hard to believe that he wanted the word 'STOP' clarified.
