His Name is My Name, Too!

Bankruptcy Lawyer Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg

An Indiana bankruptcy lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg has filed a lawsuit against the Meta CEO whose name he shares for repeatedly banning him on his social platforms.

It’s not easy being Mark Zuckerberg. No, not the Facebook founder, but an Indiana bankruptcy lawyer whose life has been negatively affected by sharing the younger tech maven’s name. Not only does he get over 100 emails every day from people who think that they are writing to the Meta chief executive officer, but he can rarely make a reservation at a restaurant without getting hung up on because people mistake him for a prankster. But the thing that irritates him the most is getting banned on Facebook and Instagram despite investing tens of thousands of dollars in ads for the simple reason that his name is Mark Zuckerberg.

“My life sometimes feels like the Michael Jordan ESPN commercial, where a regular person’s name causes constant mixups,” Mark Zuckerberg complained.

Not An "I" Tooth - An "Eye" Tooth!

Tooth Is Implanted in 34-year-old’s Eye to Restore His Vision After Two Decades

There’s an old Babylonian/Biblical legal maxim that goes, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

For Canadian Brent Chapman, his new maxim is “a tooth for an eye,” because he has become the first in his country ever to receive an osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis.

If your Latin is on point, you’ll realize that translates to a tooth-in-eye prosthetic—literally Chapman’s tooth has been surgically implanted into his eye to act as a lens fixture which has enabled him to see again.

This Phillies Fan is NOT Asshoe

Boy Gives Up His Only Foul Ball So A Grandmother Can Finally Have Her First

For her 80th birthday, Donna Morey got a gift she’ll never forget—thanks to the kindness of a 9-year-old boy she had never met.

On September 10th, Morey was celebrating at a Phillies vs. Mets game with her family. Sitting near the third baseline, she had one wish: to finally bring home a foul ball after years of attending games.

That chance came in the fifth inning when young Phillies fan Jameson Pennings caught his very first game ball. He proudly tossed it back and forth with his dad, inspecting the scuffs like a prized treasure. But before the night ended, Jameson decided someone else needed it more.

Morey recalled how it happened: “I was really absolutely amazed because he overheard my daughter talk to the ball girl about next foul would she consider giving it to me for my birthday. All of a sudden, this boy says to his dad, ‘I want to give that lady my ball,’ and his father says, ‘Are you sure about this,’ and the little boy looked at the ball in his glove and says yeah. They got up from their seat, came right over to me and handed me the ball.”

Good job, kiddo!
