If you think you’ve seen bizarre lawsuits before, check this one out. Pennsylvania resident Dylan Stephen Jayne is suing Google for crimes against humanity and is asking the court for $5 billion in damages. The charge: his social security number, when turned upside down and scrambled spells Google.
A copy of the complaint is below. And even though it is handwritten, it’s a real lawsuit. The original can be found at Justia here.
I don’t think Google will have a lot to worry about with this case, but it does make you wonder why mental health services aren’t more readily available in the United States.

friday entertainment.
haha
That made my day.
Well at least his paperwork screams ‘legitimacy’…
This is just plain funny!!
Google is screwed. Sell shares now.
Its too bad cries for attention like this work.
Freak.
Google will probably settle for a million or two
So anyone figure out what his SS# is?
Who cares what his SS# is! That’s one identity not worth stealing.
My SS#, when turned upside down AND SCRAMBLED, can spell whateher shit I want it to spell.
I’m with comment#7 BTW.
A friend of mine lives 50 minutes away, next time I visit her, maybe I should stop by and say hi (his address is in the document). That’d be worth it.
This person obviously has a mental illness, where is the sympathy for his obvious condition?
Guilty! Guilty! GUILTY!!!!!
Gaggle is the source of evil world wide!
If you wish to renounce the devil (Google spelled backwards) go MSN!

Haha this is funny. Duncan you should write for ValleyWag. You got this gift for gossip reporting. Oh yeah TC IS a gossip site
GOOD WORK
Some people make me ashamed to be an American…
It means, anyone who has these 5 0 0 5 7 3 numbers in any of their documents are eligible. huh.
Just noticed this will be in Scranton. Dwight’s work perhaps?
Since when are social security numbers made up of 6 characters??
Surprising thing, but the handwriting was atrocious (on purpose?). I think this is just a desperate cry for action after years of boredom.
I quote the final part of your post
“I don’t think Google will have a lot to worry about with this case, but it does make you wonder why mental health services aren’t more readily available in the United States.”
My comment: You also risk being sued by the plaintiff (I have deliberately avoided her name for fear of being sued) because of this statement
someone should send dylan a copy of nassim taleb’s “fooled by randomness.”
lol

Poor guy. His handwriting looks that of a tortured soul.
haha, hilarious.
I wonder if he realizes that google is a number and not just a company name o.O
@#18 “SM”:
You say 500573. I was thinking 379009, which looks MUCH more like Google up-side-down. (yours is Soosle?)
Damn, I miss this cash give-away by ONE digit!
Did anyone read to the end? Under assets, it says a $200 Burton snowboard and an overdrafted Wachovia Bank account. Amazing…
I don’t think TC went too Valley Wag with this one. I like that there is news other than “Fufumucho.com raised $6mm to build social network, video sharing, facebook app, virtual world…”
Someone should offer to send this person to Harvard Law School! They might turn out better than most other attorneys.
It’s entertaining, but it’s also obvious that this person needs help. It might be a prank, but it’s hard to say.
they should counter sue for copy right infringment
“but it does make you wonder why mental health services aren’t more readily available in the United States”
We have asked ourself this question before. But maybe it has turned out to be just too expensive, since he is definitely not the only american who could benefit from it.
Legal plunder!
I think the guy may have a case, though perhaps not the one he’s thinking of. Google can make you crazy…
my Dic* when twisted and turned and sucked on looks like Apple, should I sue too? LOL
google is always a target of those who want to claim for huge amount of compensation
Obviously, knowing that Google has severly violated any privacy law it could find, a lawsuit regarding crimes against humanity is not a bad idea, however, this time I guess they are off the hook, this dude needs to have his mental health evaluated, not his social security number
lol I hope someone kills him
This guy isn’t crazy, he’s just filing a frivolous lawsuit to “get back” at the system that incarcerated him, and possibly get attention for his perceived injustices. Prisoners do this crap all the time.
Doubtfull #39,
I’ve seen the lawsuits that prisioners file, and frankly they do a better job than many attorney’s when doing the paperwork (I do agree that they file frivlous lawsuits — mostly it agaisnt the state itself so that they can clog up the court system, or harrass a guard). What I find interesting is that while the handwriting is horriable, the legal forms have been followed quite well, whoever this person is, they are intelligent and bright, but obviously there is something not right.
My SSN when recorded and played backwards says something about Paul being dead….
They’re coming to take him away – ha, ha (backwards)…
Andrew! You are an idiot man ! Thx for ‘listening’….
He’s lucky google didn’t sew him for having their name up side down and scrambled >
I’d like to see “loser pays all court costs and legal fees for the winner” of a lawsuit. Seriously.
So what does this mean for 7/11 and other companies with numbers in their names?

Im sure there will be copy-cats to follow…
DieBold!
Your comment is more preposterous than this ridiculous lawsuit. Why use this venue to degrade the United States? You are just as off base with your comments as the obviously ill person filing the lawsuit. Can you name one country outside of the United States where mental health services are more readily available?
Does that mean if my SSN contains 7734 (is “hell” upsidedown and backward as probably everyone knows by now) I can sue Satan? Not a good idea, too many lawyers.
This just goes to prove Darwin was wrong.
