Samsung ultimate troll?

Yeah, I dont know if this has been posted yet. But here you go. Let the thread die if it is a repost.

So most people know about the lawsuit against Samsung filed by Apple recently, and Apple won $1 billion from it. Well apparently in that lawsuit, no one payment method was specified. So what Samsung decided to do was send 30 trucks, filled with 20 billion nickels, to pay off Apple. The whole article is here, but I think that is freaking hilarious. Way to go Samsung.

also, samsung has patenets on LTE technology so it looks like they will be suing apple when the iphone 5 drops

Fake.

20 billion nickels at 5 grams each would fill 2,755 18-wheel trucks (maximum legal weight: 80,000 lbs.).

the most pennies I've ever given to someone was $10 in 7th grade because he was being a dick about some stupid bet.

I gave them to him in a ziploc bag, and he went to shake the bag and it broke and all the pennies fell all over the ground.

I bought into a 10$ poker game with all 1/4s once. Friend was counting them and just said fuck it.

Only time I've paid a bunch with pennies is gas when broke. Search the car and dig out all that change

It's about 4 design patents and 3 utility patents, not about the rest of the device.

And the Galaxy SIII wasn't on the list of infringing devices in the trial.

It just makes the person who made that look very very dumb.

someone's been on Snopes!

i tried to pay off $40 in parking tickets to my college in pennies. however, they had a sign posted that said no coinage, so the joke was on me. i had to convert it back to dollar bills to pay it off. i thought i was being so slick, too. i lost.
