Michael Jordan look-alike sues NBA super star

A Portland, Ore., man is suing Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million.

At 6 feet tall, Heckard is 6 inches shorter than Jordan. But he does bear a resemblance with a shaved head, an earring in his left ear and conditioning from, yes, playing basketball. How he decided to sue for $416 million each? "Well, you figure with my age and you multiply that times seven and, ah, then I turn around and, ah, I figure that's what it all boils down to."

Spiderman (Made in Japan)

Apparently Japan had Spiderman TV series a long time ago. And of course, since this is their own version of Spiderman, they gave him a giant robot to fight against giant monsters (yup, for some odd reason all his enemies are giant monsters)..
