    While everything's getting patented, I'm going to go take out a patent for sex, smoking, and eating. That should be a little more profitable than online auctions.

    If you invented any of those, that's very clever.

    However, since I find that unlikely, you've just wasted 10 seconds of your pitiful life posting such a lame comment.
