We know that the US has a tendency toward frivolous and sometimes outright crazy lawsuits, for everything from being psychologically damaged by a fart in an elevator, to a man who sued Apple because of his pornography addiction.

Well, New York has now produced the lawsuit to beat all lawsuits… Anton Purisima, 62, decided that he would sue just about everybody he has ever met and some that he hasn’t. The amount he is looking for in this action? Two undecillion dollars! That is a two followed by 36 zeros.

Ever hopeful Anton includes damages for such things as ‘civil rights violations, personal injury, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, emotional distress and conspiracy to defraud’ according to the New York Post.

He has explained some of his claims, such as an infected middle finger due to being bitten by a “rabies-infected” dog and even pictures being taken of him by a “Chinese couple” when he was at a hospital.

That’s about it… there is very little information about Mr. Purisima because since filing the lawsuit, which was handwritten, he has been unavailable for comment. He’s probably busy writing out his suit against The Seaside Gazette for defamation after reading that they think he’s a complete nut job.
