The Man Who Sued God
From Religion News Blog (link):
Nebraska Democratic State Senator Ernie Chambers has decided to go straight to the top in an effort to stop natural disasters from befalling the world.
...
The suit asks for a “permanent injunction ordering Defendant to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.”
...
Chambers also cites that the, “defendant directly and proximately has caused, inter alia, fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues…”
Unfortunately, it's not quite as good as it first sounds:
Chambers says he isn’t suing God because he has any kind of beef with the deity. He says the suit is to fight possible laws restricting the filing of frivolous lawsuits.
Oh well. But, the thought occurs, what if he were to win?
Wakey wakey, rise and shine

Pretty high on the oops list, that one.
Brilliant!
