atw: Friday humour: patently silly

If you think you wasted your time on that last
8-week/13-week/6-month contract, spare a thought for the inventors
who probably spent (rather than earning) thousands of dollars while
wasting their time. Apparently quite a number of them around the
world have been giveing their days and nights to wind-assisted
bicycles.

Be sure to follow the links to the full US Patent Office texts. I
wonder what the insanity rate is for the patent attorneys (doubtless
very highly paid) who labour over saying the same things umpteen
times and with obsessive self-reference.

My favourite dictionary definition: recursive (adj): see recursive
