In Beijing, China, a man named Li sued his neighbor because the neighbor's mynah bird kept verbally abusing him. Li told the court that his neighbor had taught the bird to say, "Li is a bastard," and the bird had been repeating it for months. He even brought tapes of the squawking bird to court and demanded that the judge force his neighbor to apologize and pay a few hundred dollars for his emotional distress. As Li played the tapes, the crowd in the courtroom couldn't keep itself from laughing, and the judge had to order several people out of the room. Then the judge denied Li's case, saying the evidence wasn't strong enough.
