Birther archeology can be fascinating. Phil Berg apparently included the myth about the Indonesian adoption in his early lawsuits. Do you think he made it up on his own, or do you think he picked it up off the web?

Berg picked most of his stuff off the web. Heck, on that subject, Berg just outright cited online rumor in his complaint:

"26. ...Additionally, there is rumor circulating on the Internet that his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, adopted Obama."

It's hard to say whether that's better or worse than what he did four paragraphs earlier, where he cited to an online hoax birth certificate that was signed by 'Dudley Doright' and 'John Kennedy.' Which is more ridiculous: citing rumor or citing an obvious hoax?

Gee, not as ridiculous apparently as citing a reason for dismissing a pending case because it had been twittered and blogged over the internet.

“The case made headlines at the district court level because of the ruling from District Judge James Robertson of Washington.

In refusing to hear evidence about whether Obama is eligible, Robertson wrote in his notice dismissing the case, “The issue of the president’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama’s two-year-campaign for the presidency.”
