A Virginia prison inmate called Robert Lee Brock tried to sue himself for $5,000,000, claiming he violated his own civil rights by committing a crime when drunk and being arrested. He then tried to get the state to pay the money because he himself was a ward of the state and could not pay.

>"I partook of alcoholic beverages in 1993, July 1st, as a result I caused myself to violate my religious beliefs. This was done by my going out and getting arrested," wrote Brock, who is serving 23 years for breaking and entering and grand larceny.

>"I want to pay myself 5 million dollars," he continued, "but ask the state to pay it in my behalf since I can't work and am a ward of the state."

It's generally agreed he did this to get a transfer to a mental institution instead of prison, but it didn't work out.

Jonathan Lee Riches v. Michael Vick

some guys sues Michael Vick for $63,000,000,000 (billion) dollars, claiming he stole his dogs, used them in dog fighting, then used the winnings to buy missiles from Iran after swearing allegiance to Al-Qaeda. No I'm not making this up.

Gerald Mayo tried to sue Satan for "putting obstacles in his path", and lost because they could not process service.

"In May 2009, Riches filed for an injunction against the Guinness Book of World Records, seeking to stop them from listing him as "the most litigious individual in history".[21] Guinness spokesperson Sara Wilcox told The Huffington Post that there was no such listing, and no plan to create one. "'Most litigious man' is not something Guinness World Records has ever monitored as a record category," she said. The action—like the vast majority of Riches' filings—was dismissed"

Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc., 88 F. Supp. 2d 116, (S.D.N.Y. 1999)

More widely known as the Pepsi Points Case, Leonard v Pepsico, Inc. is a contract law case tried in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1999, in which the plaintiff, John Leonard, sued PepsiCo, Inc. in an effort to enforce an "offer" to redeem 7,000,000 Pepsi Points for an AV-8 Harrier II jump jet (valued at $33.8 million at the time) which PepsiCo had shown in a portion of a televised commercial that PepsiCo argued was intended to be humorous.

The plaintiff did not collect 7,000,000 Pepsi Points through the purchase of Pepsi products, but instead sent a certified check for $700,008.50 as permitted by the contest rules. Leonard had 15 existing points, paid $0.10 a point for the remaining 6,999,985 points, and a $10 shipping and handling fee.

The claim alleged both breach of contract and fraud. The case was originally brought in Florida, but eventually heard in New York. The defendant, Pepsi, moved for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56.

Among other claims made, Leonard claimed that a federal judge was incapable of deciding on the matter, and that instead the decision had to be made by a jury consisting of members of the "Pepsi Generation" to whom the advertisement would allegedly constitute an offer.

The court, presided over by Judge Kimba Wood, rejected Leonard's claims and denied recovery on several grounds, including;

It was found that the advertisement featuring the jet did not constitute an offer under the Restatement (Second) of Contracts.

The court found that even if the advertisement had been an offer, no reasonable person could have believed that the company seriously intended to convey a jet worth roughly $23 million for $700,000, i.e., that it was mere puffery.
