Adventures in legal idiocy

If there's any justice at all in this universe, this guy will get laughed out of court.

A Portland, Ore., man is suing Michael Jordan because, he says, he's often mistaken for the basketball superstar and is tired of it.

Allen Heckard is also suing Nike founder Phil Knight for making Jordan one of the most recognized men in the world, KGW-TV, Portland, reports.

He's asking for a combined $832 million -- $416 million each. [my emphasis]

So, he wants nearly a billion dollars because he's annoyed about getting mistaken for a celebrity. Ohhhhh-kay. I wonder how he came up with that figure.

Oh, and the article goes on to say that the guy wears Air Jordans, which I'm sure adds to the effect.
