Cosmic compensation sought
A German lawyer reportedly wants to pursue state compensation claims on behalf of people who believe they were abducted by extraterrestrials. Apparently, Jens Lorek thinks this can be achieved under a law in Germany that grants state compensation for victims of kidnappings.
The enterprising Lorek sees such abductees as an untapped market of the legal profession, because for some strange reason these people are ordinarily “afraid of making fools of themselves in court.”
Mr Lorek seems confident that people abducted by aliens “could appeal for therapies or cures.” Indeed, they could start with a nice long therapeutic stay in one of the fine institutions provided by the German state just for the treatment of their ... um ... condition.

I do enjoy the stuff you come up with Jacob. We really must do something to up your readership / commenters, people don't know what they're missing out on. :-D
Cheers Caz, that's kind of you to say.
Not sure whether my rate and range of posts is much of a drawcard, especially when there are bloggers out there who already have established readership, niche content, etc.
For my part it's sometimes a bit of a stretch coming up with stuff while working fulltime, being stuffed at the end of the day when my body cries out "REST!!!", etc etc.
Ah well, enough bitching. We'll see how things go. Sometimes one just has to have a rant even if noone's particularly listening, eh?
