The Lancaster Intelligencer-Journal thought this 
would make an interesting story, and, in fact, it did. 
Ain't no Amber Carson here, ain't no Philadelphia 
restaurant been sued for a broken coccyx, ain't no 
$113,500 judgements in the courts either place. And 
they checked back something like 30 years before 
giving up.

Then they went to check out the other stories, 
although with a little less diligence. Turns out they 
couldn't find *any* truth to any of these stories.
