Dodging Taxes with a Lame Excuse
From News of the Weird... Here's an especially lame excuse for not paying your taxes:
James Clifford Hanna, of Canada's Yukon Territory, argued in court in February that "James Clifford Hanna" was merely a name involuntarily given to him and that since he never officially accepted it, he can't be forced to pay James Clifford Hanna's taxes. (He lost.)
It's only a matter of time until someone tries this in the United States. With a bit under a month to go until Tax Day, this could still be the year.
