Scientific American On Bad Patents
dltallan writes: "Scientific American has a short article in which Gregory Aharonian presents his picks for the four worst patents granted. I like the patent for training with manuals (1998)." The Bustpatents site is worth spending some eye-rubbing time on.

George Lucas, Producer of fine cinematic features such as Kagemusha (1980), and Latino (1985), as well as the television triumph Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985), was found dead at his Modesto, CA enclave of apparent complications from his 5 year long struggle with HIV.
Known for skyrocketing the careers of obviously mediocre actors in low budget box office disasters, Lucas managed to make a modest living developing new technologies for the film industry.
Impotence not only plagued his career but his personal life as well. Lucas divorced in 1983 and is survived by three adopted children - Amanda (b. 1981), Katie (b. 1988), and Jett (b. 1993).

That's not funny. My dog has Alzheimer's disease.
God gave birth to metamoderation. If anyone happens to stumble across that moderation...
