- A judge sues a dry cleaner establishment for $54 million for misplacing a pair of pantsÂ
- A woman sues a candy company for making a chewy candy . . . chewy
- A man sues to raise the speed limit after getting too many traffic ticketsÂ
- In the Netherlands, a woman sued for emotional trauma from having lost the lottery.Â
