The Philippines Supreme Court has asked a fired judge who claims he is assisted by three elves to stop making threats of ungodly reprisal.
The court kicked Florentino Floro Jr. off the bench largely because of his belief in the supernatural, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub. req.). A medical clinic determined that the judge was suffering from psychosis.
Since then Floro has battled to get his job back, appearing on TV and winning converts who seek his healing powers. At the same time, a series of unfortunate incidents have befallen the supreme court justices or their families, including serious illnesses and car accidents.
Floro says the person to blame for the mishaps is one of the elves, "Luis," a "king of kings" who is an avenger. He told the newspaper that the elves help him predict the future, but he has never consulted them when issuing judicial decisions.
The Supreme Court has not reversed any of Floros decisions since firing him.

If it were the 9th circuit (california), this never would have happened.

Sure he's crazy, but at least he's never sued his dry cleaners.
Of course not, he has elves to clean his clothes. Did you think they just shined shoes and baked cookies?
