A 73-year-old Milwaukee woman claimed she became sexually attracted to other women and started having spontaneous orgasms after an electric bingo scoreboard fell on her head. The woman asked for $90,000 from the church where the bingo game took place, but the judge threw out her case because she refused to undergo a court-ordered psychological examination

Terrence Dickson or Bristol, Pennsylvania: While in the process of leaving a home he had just burglarized through the garage, Mr. Dickson became locked in when the automatic garage door opener failed to open, and the door leading into the house locked upon closing. He was forced to wait in the garage for a period of 8 days, surviving on nothing but a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food. Upon release, he sued the homeowner's insurance company, claiming undue mental anguish for his "captivity". The jury awarded Mr. Dickson $500,000 for his trouble.
