Couldn't help myself

I know I haven't blogged in a while but i could not resist this one.

A Canadian judge (eh!) threw out a lawsuit by a British Columbia man who said that his brain was yes, I can't make this up, INVADED by tech companies and the coppers.

A yokel named Jerry Rose filed the lawsuit about one month ago in Canada. Named defendants included Google and Microsoft as well as the Mounties.

These were the evil folks who were "responsible for invading his brain and manipulating his thoughts", The Province newspaper in Vancouver reported.

In addition to the monetary damages, the lawsuit demanded a red 2007 Ferrari, a black 2009 Lamborghini, two 2008 V-Rod Harley Davidson motorcycles, two 2008 Honda dirt bikes and a 2009 black Dodge pickup truck, the report said.

But here is the part that gets me -

The judge initially refused to dismiss the case.

WHAT?!!!!??!?!!!

Could it be in this day and age that there is a judge out there who believes in brain invasion???

Why did it take so long to rule that "the allegations were wild speculation and bound to fail"

I am guessing that the judge believed the allegations in the lawsuit until the grand wizard of his local chapter of the National Unity Transmission Society (NUTS) that monitors cell phone usage secretly did not want their secrets getting out.
