What I've learned so far

I've been trying to review and outline for final exams, which are in 2 weeks. Ack. How did that happen? This is what I've leared so far, for two of my classes:

Torts:
1. Stay far, far away from rail road tracks
2. Learn to swim, especially if you plan to work on barges or tug boats
3. Don’t mess with Texas
4. In Texas, it is not necessarily a bad idea to shoot your neighbor's mad boar.
5. Texas scares me
6. People in California like to throw furnature out windows. This I cannot explain.

Property:
1. Never get into a land deal with relatives
2. If you own a house with a ghost
a. The house isn’t vacant when you sell it.
b. Haunting is a latent defect. Disclose it.
3. My family is far more functional that I had thought (for example, my inheritance, such as it is, is not contingent upon changing my name, marrying some guy I've never met, or naming my first child after the family dog)

Is Never get into a land deal with relatives akin to never fight a land war in Asia?
