Let's pull out the most blatantly wrong statements, shall we?

( Ow. Brain hurts... )

You people need to entertain me so I don't find things like this!

Buck Speaketh:

"You've heard about what's going on in Paris, right? It's like the Renaissance all over again."

Also:

"I guess revolting is like skydiving: if at first you don't succeed, oh well."

I love my coworkers. Really, I do. Except when I don't, which is most of the time.

[EDIT] Aha! Fu-Master wasn't down for long.

"All Chinese people are allergic to peanuts. I ate two pounds worth, and then my stomach started hurting all day. Even my kids - they said they had enough peanuts."

This, courtesy of Neil Gaiman's blog, points out some of the absurdities in the patent-all-fiction application. Unfortunately, it fails to take into account the fact that the USPTO is apparently disregarding their own criteria in recent years, so this won't necessarily prevent the patent from being granted.

As an aside, I'd love for someone to attempt to patent a perpetual motion machine under the current patent system. With enough lawyerese and doublespeak, I bet it wouldn't be all that difficult. The new rule seems to be "grant patent first, think about it later, if at all."
