I looked through it and don’t see my name on there, so I feel pretty good about myself. But I didn’t really give it a thorough reading. Does anybody see “Cecil Adams”? ---

You can google this guy and find more gems. [This is the story](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293268,00.html) of a suit against Michael Vick for $63 billion, claiming Vick stole his pit bulls and sold them on ebay to buy missiles from Iran. [He sues Jeff Gordon](http://www.wsoctv.com/nascar/14108729/detail.html) for “Recklessly Drivin’ My Life Crazy”. ---

Wow. That’s some conspiracy he’s thought up. It makes my grandma’s proposed lawsuits look rational in comparison. Don’t ask me why, but I found it hilarious that “Islamic Republic of Iran” was listed right after “Tony Danza.” 😃 ---

He’s also suing NASA: > [@](#): > > Plaintiff sued the National Aeronautics and Space Administration “NASA”, John F. Kennedy Space Center, Lisa Nowak d/b/a “Space Astronaut”, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and the Space Shuttle Challenger for NASA Harassment. Plaintiff seeks the return of copyrighted and patented material belonging to Jonathan Lee Riches, i.e., jet fuel, space suits, moon rocks, mercury, DNA from pluto. Plaintiff also moves for a TRO prohibiting defendants from launching any material away from Earth without plaintiff’s written permission. Plaintiff claims that defendants are in a major conspiracy to defraud American tax payers and Congress, and that he learned this through his sexual relationship with Lisa Nowak who brought secret documents to him in prison. Plaintiff also asserts that his ex-girlfriend Lisa Nowak told him that the Mars rover isn’t at Mars, but in an Arizona desert to make people believe NASA has been to Mars to justify federal funding. Nowak also allegedly told plaintiff that the International Space Station is a trailer that was bought from a Miami Winnebago dealership for $1,200. So, did Lisa Nowak drive non stop from Texas to see him? Seriously, is this guy mentally ill, or is he just gaming the legal system to get field trips out of jail? ---

I think it’s just a very odd hobby. What else is there to do while you’re sitting in prison? Maybe it amuses his cellmate enough that he doesn’t beat or rape the guy. I have to admit this is really funny, waste of federal money or not. ---
