Anton Purisima, 62, filed the hand-scribbled lawsuit in Manhattan federal court. Purisima, who is representing himself, appears to be more of a mathematician than a lawyer.
He correctly listed the obscure number, which is written with a “2″ followed by 36 zeros, in a 22-page complaint accusing the defendants of everything from civil rights violations to attempted murder. While its difficult to decipher just what Purisima is accusing the defendants of, some allegations are clear.
His claims include having his middle finger infected and bloodied after being bit by a “rabies-infected” dog on a city bus and then having a “Chinese couple” taking unauthorized photos of him while he was being treated at a local hospital. The suit claims the pain and damages he suffered can’t be measured in money and are, therefore, “priceless.” Included in the suit as evidence is a photo of his bloodied finger.

Americans would sue a fire hydrant if they thought they would get some money out of it.
I take it you're not American Terrence.
