Man Sues Neighbor For Not Turning Off His Wi-Fi 428
Scyth3 writes "A man is suing his neighbor for not turning off his cell phone or wireless router. He claims it affects his 'electromagnetic allergies,' and has resorted to being homeless. So, why doesn't he check into a hotel? Because hotels typically have wireless internet for free. I wonder if a tinfoil hat would help his cause?"

There seems to be a desperate need for Faraday Burka. That way they can feel safe and we don't have to look at them. Also they'll have the added benefit of it protecting them from the sun's rays which I'm sure most sufferers aren't used to seeing. A mesh lined Burka has got to be more stylish than walking around in tin foil.

That can't stop you from suing. Look at Jonathan Lee Riches [wikipedia.org]. This is a guy who sued the Guinness Book of World Records for listing him as the man who's filed the most lawsuits in the history of mankind. ;) He's among others, he's sued Bill Belichick, George W. Bush, Martha Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Michael Vick, Steve Jobs, Perez Hilton, Somali pirates, Britney Spears, Benazir Bhutto, Pervez Musharraf, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Party, the 13 tribes of Israel, Plato, Nostradamus, Che Guevara, James Hoffa, "Various Buddhist Monks", the Lincoln Memorial, the Eiffel Tower, the USS Cole, the book Mein Kampf, the Garden of Eden, the Roman Empire, the Appalachian Trail, Plymouth Rock, the Holy Grail, the dwarf planet Pluto, and the entire Three Mile Island.

Ferrets are widely known to promote blood circulation, asshole. One of the landmark studies compared the orgonocephalic health of a man with a ferret strapped to his head against that of a control subject*, with many interesting results.

In other news, the Prime Minister released a press release today, explaining that recent government scandals were the result of "problems with the WiFi" which caused "mass delusions among Parliamentarians" which "made them do it." Mr. Brown promises that henceforth that the Parliamentary floor, retreats and other events will be WiFi-free in order to combat corruption. No word on Browning Street.

Is there a term for when you make a joke on /., someone responds by making the joke more obvious, and then they get the funny mod instead of you? Maybe "whooshmodded?"

The fun part is that in Europe all those jokes feature the Italians instead.
What's the perfect war?
German comman
British soldiers
US supplies
in Russian amounts
and Italian enemies.
What's the three thinnest books?
The book of delicious British food.
The US-american "how to behave abroad" book.
The book about Italian war heroes.
Why don't the Italians fight harder?
Because they know they'll switch sides half way and don't want to have to do the work twice.
Why do Italians build foxholes with sandbags on both sides? Because it's more work to move them every time they switch sides.
And so on. Granted, most of those jokes come from Germany, maybe they're still bitter that the Italians switched sides in BOTH major wars in last century...
