Okay, the lawsuits in this country have gotten completely out of control! If you've got a dollar to your name nowadays it's certain that some penniless, pathetic bastard is going to find a douche bag lawyer and slap you with some frivolous charges. Maybe you'll get accused of spitting on someone or maybe you'll get accused of ruining someone's life. Or if you're a dog murdering NFL quarterback then you'll get accused of stealing pit bulls and selling them on eBay in order to purchase missiles from the Iran government!

Sure, it sounds farfetched but it's true. But the grounds for the lawsuit aren't even the best part; the man filing the suit, Jonathan Lee Riches, is an inmate at the Williamsburg Federal Correctional facility in South Carolina and he's asking for $63,000,000,000 in damages!!!!!! Nope, that's not a misprint, that's $63 billion with a capital "B".

According to the suit, Vick allegedly stole a pair of pit bulls from Riches' Holiday, Fla., home and then used the dogs to fight at his notorious house in Virginia. Vick supposedly then took the pooches and instead of electrocuting or putting a bullet through their heads, like he normally does, decided to sell them on eBay for missile money. It might sound strange at first, but it all makes sense once Riches explains that Vick needs the missiles because he became a member of Al Qaeda this past February.

We agree that Vick is a sicko, but a member of Al Qaeda might be pushing it a bit. It sounds to us like someone hasn't been taking their medications.

Michael Vick has to stop physically hurting my feelings and dashing my hopes," Riches writes in the complaint.

Further claims against Vick include stealing Riches' identity to open credit card accounts at Pets Mart and Doggie Warehouse in order to buy dog food, and violating copyright laws by using Riches' "copyright name on his personal football outfit and casual clothing" without paying for the use. Oh, and Riches accuses Vick of subjecting him to "microwave testing."

We didn't think it was possible, but this makes Vick's whole story about the water bottle/jewelry box seem a lot less far fetched.
