Handwritten Lawsuit Accuses Google Having A Name Similar To Accuser's Social Security Number
from the plaintiff-and-defendant(s)-have-a-responsibility-to-fight-the-war-on-terrorism dept
We've seen some really bizarre and silly lawsuits filed against Google over the years, but this latest one wins hands down. Eric Goldman gets all the credit in the world for sending this one over. Someone has filed a handwritten lawsuit against Google, asking for $5 billion in damages, because his social security number, when turned upside down and scrambled spells Google. And then it gets weirder. The war on terrorism makes an appearance, as does a Burton snowboard. If you're reading this via RSS, click on through to see the filing in all its handwritten glory. Update: As pointed out in the comments, the guy actually filed 8 other things with the court, including a rather detailed description of how the Philadelphia 76ers play a key role in the code to unscramble his social security number to spell Google.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post.

Wonderful Complaint
Something tells me he's going to get his Burton Snowboard repo'd from him when Google files their malicious prosecution suit against him, but maybe they won't bother.

It's amazing what you can find on the internet...
and open up the second exhibit - or specifically:
http://casedocs.justia.com/pennsylvania/pamdce/3:2007cv01677/69169/1/2.pdf
then go to page 18.
It shows the specifics of this loon's SS Number and how it spells Google (with the help of the Philadelphia 76ers)
wow.

Wow
1. The fact he hasn't earned any money for the last 3 or 4 years, or
2. The fact that if you fiddle with his SSN enough it looks kinda sorta like "google"?
I wonder.

WTF!?!?
[ link to this | view in thread ]
wow
He talks about not getting his anxiety medication while in jail in one of the complaints so definitely an inmate or recently released. Anyway, just google the phone number he left on the complaint form and you'll see a real phonebook entry. (That's a 570 area code)

While reading this article I started laughing so hard I spilled hot tea into my lap causing great discomfort and ruining a perfectly good pair of pants.
Publishing this article showed a complete disregard for my health and wellbeing and was clearly irresponsible.
You will be hearing from my lawyer.

Also, to suggest that this only happens in America is silly, mental health problems are a human condition and don't have borders or politics.
[ link to this | view in thread ]
i dunno
I mean, the guy lays it all out on the table: he's been in jail for the last several years, during which he was also "hospitalized" in the psych ward, so he's obviously out there.
yet, he sure seems to know his shit when it comes to writing properly structured motions and submitting the proper supporting documentation.
hannibal lector anyone?
so, is he just taking the piss out of a system he knows and loathes, or his he serious? can't figure it out.

Not his first lawsuit
Perhaps it's fortunate that these filings aren't available through the website(courthouse didn't have a scanner at the time?).

WTF?
I think this kid should have patented his social security number first... that way we could have had a stupid patent as well... and he would have had a better case against Google.... sort of...
Jesh.... hell, my SSN multiplied by a certain number is the amount Google pays in taxes each year.... I'm sooo suing.

I've never thought about this much before, but I have '666' in the middle of my (UK) National Insurance number. I think I need to sue someone for emotional distress.

Interesting
And now this document has made this information public in a manner there is no way someone like this would have ever been able to do otherwise, simply by suing someone famous for something dumb.
I don't know anything about the video, or the circumstances of the arrest, but it seems to me this is a very effective way of getting information out there publicly.
Crazy or not, maybe he knows the system better than you think...
