This has to be one of the furthest fetched lawsuits that I’ve ever seen. Dylan Jayne is suing Google for having a company name that is similar to his Social Security Number (SSN), well, with the help of the Philadelphia 76er’s that is. Jayne claims that flipping his SSN number upside down, and scrambling it around leaves him with a disturbing result that could possibly endanger his identity.
The image you see to the right shows how Jayne is able to “decode” his SSN to get the target result, and I’m assuming it’s nothing confidential since this info can be found in a document on the court’s site (page 18 in the Exhibit 2 PDF). I would think that it’s possible for nearly anyone to unscramble their SSN and come out with a result that matches a company’s name. I’m sure you’d agree that this has to be one of those guys who would sit down with his calculator and see how many words he could make with it.
What has to be even more amazing is that the whole lawsuit is hand-written, and I’ve embedded it here for your viewing pleasure:
So, who’s pullin’ for a win from this guy? 
Is it even legal to sue for that?
I hate lawsuits there no justice in them,even if you win you have to pay legal fees.
What The F! Is this some kind of a joke? With all the money he makes, he couldn’t hire himself a lawyer (I am assuming he hasn’t since the freakin’ lawsuit is handwritten (is that even legal?)).
I don’t know which is funnier… this, or the fact that God actually responded to the lawsuit filed by Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha last week for, believe it or not, crimes against humanity (not exactly those words, but the message is there). You can read about it here: [news.yahoo.com]
Have fun with that one! It’s stuff like this that makes me wonder how we’ve survived this long as a species.
d’oh! I hate when I forget to login before I post a comment…
The more I think about this, I know why he doesn’t have a lawyer, he couldn’t find one that would file such a stupid law suit.
Before you know it pirates will be suing software companies for viruses they get on their computers.
I think this one is actually a bit funnier, but they are both pretty good.
I’m actually wondering if he is just doing this for some kind of attention as well. I’m not sure what good attention he could receive from this, but his name is definitely getting around.
That’s kinda funny (and kinda insane) that someone sued God. This lawsuit is insane as well. We really need to get Judges that won’t put up with this crap. When will it end. They should dismiss cases like this immediately and make them pay both party’s lawyer fees.
Also, is this guy really dumb enough to post his social security number on the internet?!
Thats idiotic isnt it?
Ridiculous lawsuit! But he was able to file it, so it is legal. Which is even more ridiculous.
My thinking exactly!
I wish that’s what would happen as well. People try to take advantage of every possible angle, and unfortunately they win all too many times.
The guy who filed this suit is either on drugs or simply dumb as sh#t.
I think that someone who is seuing google just because his name, when turned upside dow and SCAMBLED is just of this planet. It is just obsurd!!!!!!!!!
the person who filed this is schizophrenic. he’s a family member of mine and is now getting help. glad you all find it amusing.
