Kinda makes you wonder don't it..... do these people actually BELIEVE what they're doing?

As for this case, well, I'd be mighty surprised if it will end in favor of the astro-loonie if the case is held in a US court..... and vice versa.

Well since astrology is a rip off perhaps she's progressed to the next level to rip off Nasa. It's probably something like

"I am going to sue you for $300 million, but I might be convinced to settle out of court for a few million, save you having court costs"

but since I would think that sort of scam would be common, they probably have something where the plaintiff is ordered to pay court costs for wasting everyones time.
I think the way you think of astrologers shows how you think of people in general. It's either

"Well they are obviously lying" ie. everyone is trying to rip off people, or
"Well they must somehow think they're right" ie they're all stupid.

I'd imagine this would be tossed out of court before it ever went anywhere. The Astrologer is probably looking for some publicity.

*shakes head*

You know, the US "sue happy" legal system just invites this sort of thing, too. I am not surprised that people in other countries are now trying to jump on the band wagon. You don't see this sort of case being brought in other countries.

Although, I honestly think this "case" won't go anywhere either, as Kwok already stated.

I tend to agree.

Hey, why work for a living when you can whine and sue somebody?

Reminds me of that old episode of Married with Children where the one guy breaks into the house, and Al punches him. The guy sues Al for it, and wins, so Al punches him in court and countersues him for hurting his hand.
