(Newser) – An angry customer is suing Bank of America for "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" over service he found less than satisfying, Reuters reports. Dalton Chiscolm filed the suit for "inconsistent information from a 'Spanish woman,'” a judge says. "He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers." Chiscolm's demand surpasses a sextillion dollars, or a 1 followed by 21 zeros.

@ dontlikeyou: you ever hear the axiom "to a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail"? i'm guessing you have, since it was even on this site in the last few days about a mcchrystal article. it's amazing how you can try to paint every issue as a failure of obama. please just shut your mouth, you goddamned idiot.
