World's Weirdest Cases

As a teaser for a new column that will focus on weird legal cases, Professor Gary Slapper, director of the UK Open University Centre for Law, compiled twenty of his favorite weird cases for the Times Online.  Many of them focus on sex, but there is also the man who sued a TV station for making him smoke and his family obese, an astrologer who sued NASA for violating the balance of the universe, and a man who sought legal permission to name his son @.

Enjoy!
