A man sues Bank of America for 1,784 billion, trillion dollars ($17,840,000,000,000,000,000,000) because he said he was given inconsistent information and his checks had been rejected.

US District Judge Denny Chin said it was "incomprehensible". He has given Chiscolm until October 23 to explain his claims, else his case would be dismissed.

"He seems to be complaining that he placed a series of calls to the bank in New York and received inconsistent information from a 'Spanish wom[a]n,'" the judge wrote. "He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers."

The world's gross domestic product in the year 2008 was $60 trillion. So in order to compensate Chiscolm, the world has to work about 300 million years.

In comparison, the famous McDonald coffee case makes so much sense.

So few of these ridiculous lawsuits actually won. Some are toss out of court before they are tried, which are almost always good calls. Here are some ridiculous lawsuits for your amusement:

I would like to reach through my phone and ring some BOA necks. I was in foreclosure and was working with their collection department. I have called them a dozen times and got what I believed was a person from India. (As the company I use to work with out sourced to India and the people on the other end of the line sure sounded like India). Each time I got a different answer. I was upset daily, because BOA right hand did not know what the Left hand was doing and it cost me emotionaly and financialy. My account is now current. but I still get calls daily from them about my forclosures. I have given up telling them what is going on. I just tell them to check their notes and Hang up. My certified check were returned due to the wrong amount.

The McDonald's coffee case does make sense, if you read the facts. McDonalds knew they served their coffee at unsafe temperatures, and had many complains about it before. The woman who was burned simply wanted to have her medical bills paid -- no pain and suffering. McDonald's, despite their willful negligence, didn't even reply. She had third degree burns on her genitals, and had skin grafts.The case was thrown out of court, and not settled in court. The parties reached an agreement outside of court. Nobody knows, for sure, what the settlement was.What part of it doesn't make sense to you?
