From UPI:

A New York judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by a New York University student who was injured while wrestling in Jell-O.

Justice Carol Edmead said in a decision released Monday that the suit brought by Avram Wisnia, who injured his hip while Jell-O wrestling during his dorm’s “Beach Bash Event,” was on shaky — even jiggly — legal ground, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

The university had argued that the student, who helped organize the event, knew the risks of the activity when he agreed to a wrestling match in a kiddie pool filled with Jell-O provided by the school’s food-service department.

Wisnia’s suit said the student was “propelled through the Jell-O to the bottom of the pool,” where he injured his hip during the match.

“This case broke the mold, but in the end, justice was served — sweetly,” said university spokesman John Beckman.

Personally, I could have done without the pun-ishment.

Evidently the demand for such a morbid record does exist:

Demand for World War II documents is rising as manuscripts from earlier eras become scarcer and more expensive. A letter by Douglas MacArthur, the U.S. general who commanded Allied forces in the South Pacific, might fetch $2,000 today, or four times as much as 10 years ago, Bonhams said.

“There are a lot of institutions that are building World War II collections, and also private individuals,” said Catherine Williamson, a Bonhams director of books and manuscripts, in a telephone interview. She cited the National World War II Museum in New Orleans and the San Diego Air & Space Museum, which specializes in aviation.
