I thoroughly recommend chasing down a Nat Geo series entitled In The Womb. It has one ep where it compares the embryonic development of a penguin, a kangaroo, a shark and a wasp.
All that AND at last seeing the birth of a mammal? No wonder you're so excited.
Heh. Coincidentally enough, the book focuses on a presidential campaign where the candidates appear to be thinly veiled versions of Obama and McCain even though she wrote the book long before the 2008 campaign.
It's like that season of West Wing... but with zombies.
If you guys paid for articles then he might expect a kill fee. As it is, he's full of shit.

Totally. The problem is, if he decides to sue, he's forcing the company to incur expenses to defend our (legal) policy in a frivolous petty lawsuit.
I don't see it as a copyright issue, Steph. If anything his remedy would lie in Contract, and if you've returned all his rights to him then any injury to him is negligible.
I agree.

well, you have the right to edit, you can just edit out the self serving bit and publish the rest.
So, how do I deal with officemate insisting that he's had "unleavened bread" that wasn't crunchy, and therefore, matzo shouldn't be? (I asked him to explain the preparation of this "unleavened bread," and he did, and I explained to him what in that preparation made it not suitable for matzo. He said, "bizarre." That word -- "bizarre" -- was also his reaction to finding out that, when my family goes up to Boston for the seder, we stay at a hotel rather than at a relative's house.)

Just edit out everything except the letters b, u, l, l, s, h, i and t.
I'm really bad at dealing with stuff like this. If someone says something that's directly wrong, or clearly offensive, then I know how to argue against that. This steady stream of borderline stuff that, taken one at a time, is just irritating, I really can't figure out what to do.

He's not going to sue. He's just an asshole blowhard.
If it were me, I'd take the wimpy route and just be so very busy every time he asked a stupid/offensive question.
