The Germans usually aren't this sloppy

Centuries-Dead German Mathematician Receives TV Bill

In Germany, if you own a TV or radio, you have to pay a licensing fee as well as register it at the Television Licensing Collection Agency (GEZ).

Adam Ries was reminded of this fact the hard way, as he was sent a bill for his long-overdue television license fees.

Oh, wait, no he wasn't! Ries has been dead since 1559.
