That last poster (11:33) has it right - the woman had to have opened the
lid, removing the tab or folding the tab back - therefor *she* was the last
one to perform any operation on the lid of the cup.

Since she was the last one to perform an operation on the cup's lid, she may
have popped the lid off of the bead resulting in the projectile spillage of
the liquid within.  Aside from that, since she was the last one to perform
an operatin on the lid, she is responsible for checking the seal of the lid.

That is, if you believe the rest of the story - i.e. projectile spillage,
sever burns that heal without scarring (magic balm!), and so on.

thpplt!  Suffer, dumbass...

How long before you can't get a cup of coffee at McDonalds?
