Strange Lawsuit!!! THE PLAINTIFF: The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden THE DEFENDENT: Olaf Olavson THE LAWSUIT: In 1910, Olavson was desperate for cash, so he sold his body to the Karolinska Institute (to be used for medical research after he died). But in 1911, He unexpectedly inherited a fortune and decided to "buy himself back." To his surprise, the institute wouldn't cooperate. When Olavson flatly refused to donate his body, the institute actually sued for breach of contract. THE VERDICT: Not only did Olavson owe his body to the Institute... he actually owed them money as well. The judge decided that since he'd had two teeth removed without the institute's permission, Olavson had illegally tampered with their property. - Uncle John's Fourth Bathroom Reader, 1991 |
