Because I don't really know what to write about right now I decided to start writing about assholes for a little while.
The TV series Columbo starred Peter Falk as an eccentric detective named Columbo. the character's first name was never actually mentioned in the show.
Frank L Worth created a fake article in his book, The Trivia Encyclopedia that claimed that the first name of the character was "Philip".
Later, in the boardgame Trivial Pursuit, there was a question regarding Columbo's first name. The answer given in the game was Philip.
Frank L Worth sued the makers of the game (the entry was created as a copy right trap in the first place) for 300 million dollars. He claimed that the game used his book as a source and that he saw no money from it. The makers of the game did not deny that they used his book, but said they had the right to, as it was just another source of information to draw from for a trivia game.
Worth lost the case and did not get 300 million dollars. Not only was the foundation that his case rested on retarded, but it was a lie as well.

The second person I would like to write about is the person who designed the playground that was next to my synagogue as a child. I don't know who this person is, but their creation hurt me. I got my head stuck in the bars holding up the slide. The fire dept. had to get me out. I may elaborate on this story later.
