Woman Files $10M Suit Vs. Starbucks

Remember several years ago, when a woman sued McDonalds for getting burned when she dropped the coffee in her lap? I think that's how much she wanted, too. Is $10Mil the standard for coffee burns?
I bought a coffee from one of those little automated machines yesterday, which poured down my hand when I tripped on a hose in the construction going on between the library and my building. When this happened, a very sensitive soul on a bench outside of the library applauded while I tried to wipe off the scalding liquid with one tiny napkin... I think I deserve the $10Mil payout too, for pain AND embarrassment. Maybe I can file a complaint with the machine, though I'd probably get my payout in quarters.
