While searching for IC's I came across this:
Looks like a site for the public to comment on patents. Maybe... Comments like "You bastard..you stole my idea!" :) Or.... You can ridicule patent 5443036: Using a laser pointer to exercise your cat. Geeeezz....
Why would somebody patent that?
D
A friend did a version of that to exercise the cat. Stapped a laser pointer to the ceiling fan with a bit if duct tape, and set it to low speed. Kept the cat exercised for several minutes at a time, then it would loose interest for maybe 30 minutes, then "rediscover" it.
My burmese cat loses interest in a laser pointer quite quickly. He likes fetching things like a dog, so I can keep him running around by throwing them whenever he brings them back, without too much energy expenditure on my part.

I had a laser pointer experience recently that led me to consider the idea of also filing a patent. There was this pimp with an extremely huge dog. As big the gog was as lazy it was. Some fellows in our group got a laser pointer as xmas present. These guys swapped the pointer amongst themselves to make the dog move. The dog didn't move a milimeter, didn't roll an eye, nothing, as if a marble cast, but owner god mader each minute, until he finally came over and made his point clear in a tone and voice not really fitting the expensive restaurant we were in. Thus my patent idea : If the pointer doesn't make the dog move, it at least make the dog owner move.

Because, like a dog licking his testicles, he can.

Argh! I often notice the typo in the interval between pressing "Send" and the text disappearing from the screen. Which prompts me to suggest another invention: after pressing "send", the message "Are you sure?" will appear on the sctreen for several seconds.
Outlook Express has that - plus a spell checker.

How about this:

I made a cat move once - I was at my GF's house, and her kitten was watching me take a leak. I farted, loudly. The cat leapt about 2 feet sideways. I laughed.
This was the cat that would always sneak out at night and GF would go chase after it. I told her, "let him go, he knows where the food is." but, she insisted on playing "let the cat make a monkey out of the human."
About two years after we broke up, we were talking on the phone, and she commented, "Oh, yeah - you'll like to know this - the cat got out and I didn't chase him, and the next morning he was meowing at the door. Gosh!"

You think I could get a patent on the idea of using a portable high power laser to blind politicians who appear in public within a couple of miles of me? Just asking.

Sounds nasty... I'm replying more to practice my usenet quoting and to try out a different news reader. I guess people only started complaining when I hit some interesting topics or maybe most are just too polite :) D
Well, if people can patent stupid trivial ideas why not evil trivial ideas? If I had money to burn I'd give it a try.

Most are just too polite. ;-)
It's nice to see that you've finally got it "right". :-) :-)
And to Dirk: Hey, I hate politicians as much as the next guy, but blinding people intentionally is cruel and ususual punishment.
First you have to give them a fair trial, to determine whether they should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail, or hanged for high treason.
