This blows my mind.
There's a guy in Minnesota suing David Copperfield and David Blaine (well known magicians) because they are allegedly stealing his godly powers in order to perform their magic acts. His lawsuit requires that they either demonstrate to him (privately and discretely) how they perform all their tricks, or pay him 10% royalties on their past and future earnings (MILLIONS of dollars). All the good details are over at The True Stella Awards (named in honor of Stella Liebeck, the woman famous for spilling burning hot coffee on herself and then suing McDonald's). Note that this is the current sample issue, so the link will refer to something else in a few weeks when the author releases another Stella Award.
Just to promote Randy Cassingham, the author of The True Stella Awards, you should also check out his weekly This Is True newsletter, with short stories of bizarre/stupid people. I've been a subscriber since 1997 or so, and it never fails to amuse me every Friday when it comes out.
