Man Who Tangled With The Oatmeal Ordered To Pay $46k 68
Last summer we followed the odd case of lawyer Charles Carreon, as he went after Matthew Inman, creator of The Oatmeal webcomic, with legal threats. Carreon had been hired by FunnyJunk, a website Inman accused of stealing his comics. Carreon demanded $20,000 in compensation for Inman's "false accusations." Inman declined, and then used the publicity to solicit over $200,000 in donations, which he gave to charity after sending Carreon photographs. Carreon dropped the suit against Inman, but the saga continued. A satirical website was set up about Carreon, which caused him to invoke the legal system again. The article documents the absurdities, which included further legal action and a song. Now, however, Carreon is reaping what he has sown; a judge has ordered him to pay over $46,000 for his role in the legal circus.

Only once it demonstrates the ability to carry out justice systematically, rather than just isolated accidents of sensibility.
Oh sure, and while you're at it let's ask for a pony and cold fusion.

Dude, Aquaman is underrated. He is totally bad-ass.
The guy can mind-control Cthulhu. Can you mind-control an elder god?
