    I was at a drunken party once where a large group of people started talking about patenting ridiculous and evil advertising-related inventions in order to keep them from being invented by someone else. (Yeah I know you can't really do that but this was a drunken party remember). One of my ideas was a toaster that would connect to the internet, download advertisements, and burn them on your morning toast. We had a laugh at how ridiculous and stupid that was, plotting business models for the startup company (see, give away the toasters for free... etc.) This was before the net bubble burst when it didn't seem all that far-fetched. Well it wasn't because about 6 months later I found a patent for exactly that.
