Sheer insanity.

5: Marcy Meckler. While shopping at a mall, Meckler stepped
outside and was "attacked" by a squirrel that lived among the trees and
bushes. And "while frantically attempting to escape from the squirrel
and detach it from her leg, [Meckler] fell and suffered severe
injuries," her resulting lawsuit says. That's the mall's fault, the
lawsuit claims, demanding in excess of $50,000, based on the mall's
"failure to warn" her that squirrels live outside.

i sympathise with this woman

I have the full 57-page .pdf that lists all the "defendants" he sued. It's hilarious

In Washington v. Alaimo^[9]
the court listed more than seventy-five frivolous "motions" (a request
for a court to issue an order), all of which required the attention of
the Court, including the following:

• "Motion to Behoove an Inquisition"
• "Motion for Judex Delegatus"
• "Motion for Restoration of Sanity"
• "Motion for Deinstitutionalization"
• "Motion for Publicity"
• "Motion to Vacate Jurisdiction"
• "Motion for Cesset pro Cessus"
• "Motion for Nunc pro tunc"
• "Motion for Psychoanalysis"
• "Motion to Impeach Judge Alaimo"
• "Motion to Renounce Citizenship"
• "Motion to Exhume Body of Alex Hodgson"
• "Motion to Invoke and Execute Rule 15—Retroactive Note: The Court's School Days are Over"
• "Motion for Skin Change Operation"
• "Motion for Catered Food Services"

Epic.

On April 9, 2008, Riches filed a request for a temporary restraining order in a US District Court against Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two, developer Rockstar Games, FCI Williamsburg, and Grand Theft Auto itself, claiming that the defendants "put me in prison." The inmate stated, "Defendants contributed to Plaintiff committing identity theft. Defendant's games show sex, drugs and violence which offends me." Riches continued, "Defendants put me in prison. I face imminent danger from violent inmates who played Grand Theft Auto who will knock me out and take my gold Jesus cross."

Riches has also attempted to intervene as a plaintiff in the Madoff investment scandal, claiming that he "met Bernard Madoff on eharmony.com in 2001" and taught Madoff identity theft skills.

In May 2009, Riches filed for an injunction against the Guinness Book of World Records, seeking to stop them from naming him as the most litigious individual in the history of mankind.

Some of Riches' defendants are not even people or potentially suable. These include "Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Party" and the "13 tribes of Israel". One lawsuit, which includes George Bush, also includes another 783 defendants that cover 57 pages. They include Plato, Nostradamus,Che Guevara, James Hoffa, "Various Buddhist Monks", the Lincoln Memorial, the Eiffel Tower, the USS Cole, the book Mein Kampf, the Garden of Eden, the Roman Empire, the Appalachian Trail, Plymouth Rock, the Holy Grail, Nordic gods, the dwarf planet Pluto, and the entire Three Mile Island

I hope they saw that coming.

I think I remember a discussion about whether, in the event that Guinness named him anyway, they would include the lawsuit against themselves in his total.
