Yeah, you read that right. A professor from Bemidji State University wrote something about a local journalist. That journalist felt that the article was defamatory, and so in a stunning display of logic, that journalist decided to take Google to court. For $50 billion dollars.
Not surprisingly, the judge told said journalist to get the hell out of the court and stop wasting his time.

Too bad the judge didn’t fine the journalist… sigh
