Man requests sword fight with ex-wife and lawyer to settle legal dispute
A Kansas man has asked an Iowa judge to let him engage in a sword fight with his ex-wife and her attorney in a trial by combat that will settle their ongoing legal dispute.
David Ostrom, 40, of Paola, Kansas, said in a 3 January court filing that his former wife, Bridgette Ostrom, 38, of Harlan, Iowa, and her attorney, Matthew Hudson, had “destroyed (him) legally”.
The judge had the power to let the parties “resolve our disputes on the field of battle, legally,” David Ostrom said, adding in his filing that trial by combat “has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in these United States”.
He also asked the judge for 12 weeks’ time so he could secure Japanese samurai swords.
Today's date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads same, forward and backward), and the only one of its kind this century: 02/02/2020.
The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 909 years ago (11/11/1111).
We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.
Bonus: today is the 33rd day of the year, which is followed by 333 more days.
