Yep, you read that one right…A man in New York is suing the city for more money than there actually is on this Earth.

Anton Purisima, 62, was, according to the handwritten lawsuit, bitten on his middle finger by a “rabies infected” dog on a New York City bus.

Purisma is currently suing the city, plus a host of others including LaGuardia airport, a bakery and café chain, and Hobeken University Medical Centre for two undecillion dollars. The lawsuit claims he has suffered “priceless damages”.

That’s a grand total of 36 zeros, which looks a little something like this: $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. More money than actually exists on the planet.
