Strange suing:

1) Yale University student Jesse Maiman, 21, filed a lawsuit against US Airways last month because someone stole the Xbox console from his suitcase and he now wants US$1 million compensation.

2) In New York City, the subway system barred the oversized "assistance dog" of Estelle Stamm, 65, and she filed a lawsuit for US$10 million.

3) And in California, Lonnell Worthy's lawsuit against Bank of America values his now-ruined iPod playlist at US$1 trillion.
