I’ve done these “News of the Weird” segments before, but this one takes the cake.

Apparently a Pennsylvania man is suing Google for $5 billion. That’s right. Five. Billion. Dollars. With a B.

Why? It just so happens that if you take this man’s Social Security number, scramble the numbers and turn it upside down, it spells “Google” in code.

. Need I say more?

The plaintiff wrote his complaint by hand and submitted it to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Techdirt has some more information, plus a copy of the complaint, which they have edited to remove personal information.

Deep Thought’s take: There are two ways of taking this. You can either take it at face value as the most absurd frivolous lawsuit in history, or as a brilliant critique of the abuse of the lawsuit in the United States (in which case, hats off you you, good sir).

You can hear our thoughts on this on our next exciting episode of Cast of Geeks.
