blurgh, it just makes me vomit

Haha!

I come from a legal background, so I get to hear some crazy ass court cases. But be careful what you believe...

There was one in the US a while back where a woman had bought her son into a furniture store. The kid was running around like a freaking lunatic and, eventually, his mum ended up tripping over him and broke her ankle. She took the department store to court and the judge awarded her no less than $80,000. It's well known as the "kathleen roberts" case. 

But, to make this tale even more bizarre, the whole story was actually fabricated by a news site looking to get hits. If you google this case, you'll find detailed accounts of what happened, but you'll also find numerous statements from legal professionals that say the case never even existed. 

Weird!

I recall reading quite some years ago now about a woman who was suing God for malpractice after her house was hit by lightning.

She claimed that since God is supposed to be omnipotent & omniscient he should have prevented the lightning from striking her house & was therefore not fulfilling his duty of care.

She wanted to claim for the cost of rectifying the damage, the cost of replacing electrical equipment & appliances & a sum in compensation for her trauma.

God failed to appear in court & as I recall, she was awarded some of the damages. I assume she has been unable to collect them.

quite a few people have attempted to sue God. If i remember correctly, there was a film about one account.
