There is a particular landscaping/architectural structure that I'm thinking of, and can't remember what it's called.

It's a method of building a wall into a hill, so that, from over the wall, you can see out and you don't see any of the wall. It looks like the field just rolls on. But the wall keeps animals from wandering up on your lawn.

Folks may remember the 'flying imams' that were taken off a plane after doing everything possible to act suspicious. Well, they're now filing suit over the whole thing.

However, they're not just suing the airlines:

But the most alarming aspect of the imams' suit is buried in paragraph 21 of their complaint. It describes "John Doe" defendants whose identity the imams' attorneys are still investigating. It reads: "Defendants 'John Does' were passengers ... who contacted U.S. Airways to report the alleged 'suspicious' behavior of Plaintiffs' performing their prayer at the airport terminal."

Paragraph 22 adds: "Plaintiffs will seek leave to amend this Complaint to allege true names, capacities, and circumstances supporting [these defendants'] liability ... at such time as Plaintiffs ascertain the same."

In plain English, the imams plan to sue the "John Does," too.


Links ganked from Cox & Forkum, which has more on the story.
