In 2006, a Miami man was granted a divorce from his wife without alimony while acting as his own attorney. His stated reason for the divorce consisted of three words "Bitch be crazy." The judge presiding on the case granted the divorce after a 30 minute interview with the woman. His summary judgement: "Although his initial lack of sense in agreeing to the marriage is truly egregious, I am forced by fact and my own judgment to conclude that his stated reason for requesting dissolution of the marriage is one of the most sound that has ever been presented in my court."

King Uros II of Serbia believed that he was cursed by the Devil with lycanthropy, and thought that he became an animal by the light of the full moon. But unlike the more common ideas of werewolves, he believed that he was a weregoat. He had periods where he would think that he was a goat. During these times, he refused to wear clothing, and would only bleat. His courtiers eventually learned that the easiest way to deal with him at these times was to lock him in a room with a bucket of kitchen scraps and a bowl of water. After several days he would recover. Unfortunately, this indirectly led to his death in 1161 when he ate a bunch of eggshells while thinking he was a goat. He died from salmonella.
