Have a bad day? - Roland - 09-21-2007

Man sues Google for "Crimes Against Humanity", on the basis that his social security number, when flipped upside and jumbled, can resemble the word "Google".
Oh no, that's not the best part. In his hand-written suit, he supplies as exhibits his Social Security card, driver's license, a bank account number, a bank routing number, a monthly bank statement, a social security statement, and a library card. The kicker? Because of the way the U.S. court system works, and because NONE of these exhibits were redacted, it all goes into the public record, available for anyone to view. I do, truly, mean anyone.
Personally, I think he's insane. Literally INSANE. I wonder if an insanity plea can save you from court sanctions for bringing a frivolous lawsuit. That aside, I truly hope the court has some way of removing said documents and redacting them, if only for his own protection, even if they have to contact him to obtain his permission to do so. Otherwise... Well, the damage is already done, but I shudder to think of what future damage can be done if this isn't rectified, pronto.
Yikes. Just wow. I don't even know what to say. Good luck buddy. You're gonna need it.

And you wonder, Kandrathe, why we have so many stupid laws? (Rhetorical question.)
I had to do a double-take on the photo. At first I thought it was a shot of Morgan Freedman from Bruce Almighty, or more actually the sequel (I forget the name; the one with the new Ark, etc.). When I saw it in fact was NOT such a photo, all hope that it was just a joke faded, and a little part of me died inside. You can't see it but I'm crying on the inside.
I think I need to go watch The Breakfast Club now. I don't know why. I just do.

Ouch. This is one of the few times where I can say he would have been better off contacting a lawyer from a TV commercial. And it's not everyday you can say that!:P
Cheers,

At least those immigrants we've all been talking about won't have any more problems obtaining their "legal" paperwork :lol:.

Body of Christ, with Christ as part of the Big Daddy, Junior, and the Spook team, puts him here. I have to admit I have not seen anyone who looks like George Burns lately, but I did hear the neighbor's wife yelling at him last night, telling Him she was coming. Yes, her name is Monah.
In case you were wondering, He wasn't born here either, due to nobody being able to find three virgins and a wise man.
Trouble is, furthermore, that where God is tends to be called Heaven, and that's almost in West Virginia. Corpus Christi is not even close to West Virginia, no less almost.

Cosmologically speaking, Corpus Christi is almost West Virginia. The small separation between them is a mere 0.00003 AU, and AU's are tiny, tiny. I've forgotten the conversion to parsecs, durnit. It's also about 0.01 light-seconds, which is about 0.0000000003 light-years. Or so.

Newtonian frames of reference for events are required for any comparison. Thus I do not equate Comet™ cleanser with roast beef, when at the atomic and sub atomic level, they are both merely made of neutrons, protons, electrons, mesons, etc. Irrelevant frame of reference for any useful comparison.

Thus, Corpus Christi is not even almost West Virginia, unless you are almost a platypus.

The bacteria say that we are! Heck, just compare the histone sequences...
Aren't completely random and inappropriate reference frames fun?;)

See... here's the problem. In order to show the similarity, he'd have to present some evidence that his SSN was indeed GOOGLE when you flipped it, or whatever he was alleging. (Hmm... since GOOGLE is a 6 "digit" construct and an SSN is 9... how does his SSN become GOOGLE when flipped?).
As an attorney, I do wonder sometimes... I really do:P
Although to be perfectly honest, I'm sure that if somebody really wanted his SSN, they would have had it long before this suit was filed.
I'd love to read the court's disposition of the case:)
Things could be worse ... there was at least one lawsuit where the plaintiff sued Satan for ruining his life. The judge said that service was impossible and tossed the case.
