& when you think it can't get any worse, you're dead wrong:
46. The beheading and murder of United States Citizens in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other countries have been videotaped, converted to MPEG and other images for viewing on the public Internet through the use of OSS and Linux software and computer technology developed and purloined by Linux and OSS members and illegally exported from the United States.
...
88. All of the executives involved with the exception of Eric Schmidt resigned and left the company under mysterious circumstances. Based upon their rapid and sudden departures, the only logical conclusion is that they were fired by Novell's Board of Directors and Eric Schmidt. Eric Schmidt also was reported to have been fired by Novell's Board of Directors on several news sites, for, among other things, viewing Internet pornography with Novell equipment and Novell facilities.
...
I hereby swear and affirm that the statements made in the foregoing Complaint are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and ability.

Right now I am feeling some Merkey-envy. If I was able to write such absurd humor, I would try to make a living from it:

59. OSS and Linux responded in a venomous manner to this proposal and while many members accepted the proposal, Perens, OSRM, and Groklaw and those acting in concert with them opposed it, and used their influence with OSS and Linux members by posting messages through the public Internet to defame and threaten Plaintiff through a variety of means, such as threats of: murder, violence, death, oppression, mob mentality, intentional infliction of emotional distress, terror, defamation, identify theft, character assassination, tortious interference, negligent misrepresentation, threats to murder or firebomb the homes of individuals, and threats to overthrow governmental systems.

Incredible. The "threats of [...] mob mentality" are especially dangerous. "You either pay, or you will start breaking the china yourself".

Also, it has a lot of typos. For example, I did not understand this sentence at first:

56. Almost all of the companies, groups, and individuals attacked on the Groklaw websites and by Pamela Jones are [...] business entities who employee, are funded by, owned by, or operated by Mormons.

I then realized there was a typo: religion has nothing to do with the paragraph, it should read "Morons".
