$17,840,000,000,000,000,000,000

Not sure if you saw this in the news, but I got a kick out of it. Apparently, an unsatisfied Bank of America customer is suing them for 1784 million, billion dollars. Of course he'll also require an additional $200,000,000 for fees and stuff. Oh, and he'd like it all in his account tomorrow.

I'm not even sure I typed it right, since he just made up a number and went with that. Scary to think that this person actually can get this into the legal system, even if the judge has told him he has to make his case less incomprehensible or it'll be dropped. First thing he needs is a real number, since not only is it not a real number, but it's more money than the entire world's GDP. Even better, I don't think a bank we're all bailing out is really the best well to be pumping, if you get me.

You'd think he would have learned the last time he sued someone. In January he sued his landlord for 892 million billion dollars. A much more reasonable number, to be sure, but still more than the average landlord is worth. Well, probably more than every landlord on the planet is worth put together. Here's his actual accusation:

Manerment nor mainterntmen had no atcuse's to go in my apartment what so ever I had to keep a lock no the kichen cabernit.

For some reason, his courtroom documents seemed to have been typed up by an illeterate Cockney. It was dismissed.
