Quote of the Day

A Romanian guy won a yearlong court battle to prove that, contrary to government records, he was not dead. He won…then got hit with his court fees.

Judges renewed his status as alive – and then charged him $500 in court costs.

Mr Stirbu said: “When the judge ruled in my favour I was absolutely delighted – and then seconds later was absolutely shocked when I found out I would have to pay so much in legal bills.

“I will of course appeal the imposition of the costs but I am already beginning to wonder whether or not I would have been better off staying dead.”
