There's big legal news concerning the Barry, none of which involves Curt Schilling or Grand Juries. Oh no. Barry has just been slapped with a lawsuit by an inmate in a South Carolina prison, Jonathan Lee Riches (aka "the White Suge Knight), for fraud. No, not for breaking the record while on the juice, but for perpetuating a "Fraud Against Mankind," which Lee Riches calls "Batman and Identity Robbin." The Smoking Gun has the details, but from a quick perusal here are some of the claims made:

We hate to admit it, but all this modern mania for has simply passed us by. At this point, we're dreading the inevitable trip to the Embarcadero to watch the damn thing, borne solely out of our sense of obligation to stay on the cutting edge of anything related to buggery. (And even that motivation has waned, now that the movie's being advertised as a heterosexual love story.) Honestly, it's only barely opened and already jokes about its title are more passé than pretending that "Target" is pronounced like it's French. Le sigh.

SFist interviews Ambulance Ltd.

SFist came to a realization recently, that we let April 18th come and go without any acknowledgment that it was the 99th anniversary of the great quake of 1906. True, we admit to living in a constant state of denial that another huge quake will ever hit us again, and thinking about 1906 just doesn't help us. Seriously, how can you live in this city with any level of calmness if you aren't in a perpetual state of denial? How can you venture onto BART everyday without telling yourself that there's no WAY a huge quake will hit while you're halfway between the Mission and the Embarcadero? You can't be thinking about earthquakes while you sit peacefully in your apartment--which also happens to be built on a landfill. Nope! No quakes here! Please move along.
