We live in an overly litigious society, in which idiotic lawsuits cause dire warnings to be placed on the simplest objects and nobody thinks anything that goes wrong could possibly be their fault. But it does have some benefits, as well. Like this lawsuit, filed by Jonathan Lee Riches against embattled Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Vick, in case you've been living on Mars with your head under a rock, is being indicted for his part in a massive and brutal dogfighting ring.
Riches is suing Vick for $63 quintillion (or 63 followed by 18 zeros), claiming that Vick stole his pit bulls, sold them on ebay and used the profits to buy missiles from the Iranian government.
Wow.
Vick is only the latest target of Riches, who is incarcerated in South Carolina for committing wire fraud and apparently needs a hobby. The week before he sued Vick he named the Mossad, the CIA and Larry King Live in a suit. But here's the best one:
"In his most noteworthy suit, Riches submitted a 57-page list of defendants that included President Bush, Pope Benedict, actor Tony Danza, Fruit of the Loom, NASCAR, the Ming Dynasty, Skittles candy, the Philadelphia Eagles (2005 roster), the Doobie Brothers, the Congolese Army, the Magna Carta, "WKRP in Cincinnati," the King's Dominion amusement park in Virginia, the philosopher Plato, and the Liberty Bell.
He claimed they collectively owed him money."
It doesn't get better than that.
