My contracts professor gets so excited about contracts that he has to wear crokies so that his glasses don't fly off his face in a fit of rage about the Tunkl factors.
My property professor is about to have a nervous break down because we can only cover one case per class. Why is this? Mainly because overzealous students insist on making up uber-detailed, hypothetical scenarios to ask about during class. Today we talked about adverse possession. Simplified to a great degree, if you openly inhabit another person's land for a period of years, you can make a claim that you own the land. People were asking whether a person who lives in a mall and posts videos of themselves on the internet for 30 years could say he owned the mall. WTF?!
First of all, don't you think someone would notice if you lived in a mall for 30 years? Secondly, would a moron who lives in a mall for 30 years even know about adverse possession? No.
This. Never. Happens.
So for the duration of the class, I unsuccessfully stifled laughter and imagined a bunch of Hobos stealing a property law book, discovering Adverse Possession, and then setting up a cardboard camp on the edge of some land in order to come in to possession of it by adverse means. I love hobos.
Is it the weekend yet?
