It's a Name for a Girl

Many, many thanks to Ben Grant for passing along the following link. If you don't want to read the full story, here's a synopsis: A South Carolina inmate is suing embattled (yes, his name has been legally changed to "embattled") Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for $63 billion (yes, billion) dollars. Oh, what's that? Ah yes. Why in the world would a South Carolina inmate sue Michael Vick for $63 billion dollars? Well, it all makes perfect sense. Let me explain...

According to the complaint filed at the U.S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia, the inmate alleged that Vick stole pit bulls from his (the inmate's)home in Florida, used those stolen pit bulls in the infamous dogfighting operation in Richmond, subsequently sold the pit bulls on eBay, used the proceeds from the sale of the dogs to purchase missiles from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and planned to use those missiles against the good people of the United States of America because Vick apparently pledged his eternal allegiance to none other than Al Qaeda.

See, it all makes perfect sense. I wish I could make up things that absurd.
