Samsung Vs. Apple Tit-For-Tat Down Under

New submitter GumphMaster writes "In the latest edition of the Apple vs. Samsung patent fight, the ABC is reporting that Samsung has filed in Australian and Japanese courts seeking an injunction to halt sales of the iPhone 4S for alleged 3G patent violations. It remains to be seen whether Samsung has any better luck with the retaliatory strike in Australian and Japanese courts than it did with courts in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, I expect that Samsung will fail partly because of overseas precedent, but mostly because their patents are sane, technical and narrow in scope (unlike the patent-a-rectangle nature of the opposition). If this stupidity ever stops, then millions of dollars, euro, or Won that are being spent on lawyers might actually go into the innovation that patents are meant to promote. Who knows where that might lead?"

    Don't read this... it is a curse...

    In 1991, a little boy named Terry was sleeping soundly in his bedroom. After a few hours, he was abruptly woken up by a terrible feeling. He felt as if there was something that he absolutely had to do. He got out of bed and noticed that his entire house was extremely dark.

    That's when he figured out what he had to do. Terry began kicking open every single door in his house and screaming, "I am bootyass process!" He needed to make every single entity in his house aware of the dangerously high magnitudes of bootyassiousness that his cheeks were exerting; he needed to show them all his true power!

    However, he quickly realized that this was a deadly mistake. He felt multiple entities glaring at him, and he heard evil laughter coming from the darkness. He then quickly retreated to his parents' bedroom and noticed that neither one of his parents were there. Panicking, he began floating in the air for reasons unknown to him. He then screamed, as a last resort, "I have my online degree in chemical mathematics again. Move, move, move!"

    He began flying around the room at the speed of light. He screamed in terror when he noticed that his clothes had vanished and he was now bootyass naked. After a few minutes of flying around the room, his bootyass crashed into an invisible entity and it was quickly sucked into his bootyass as if his bootyass was nothing more than a gigantic spaghetti noodle. Terry could sense that his bootyass was becoming something else entirely: a rumblehouse bootyass! The thing that was sucked into his bootyass was a toy, and it began using his bootyass as a bouncehouse! It bounced around inside his bootyass and hit the walls, floors, and ceilings! It inflicted extreme amounts of tickle upon his bootyass!

    Now that you have read this (even a single word of it), the very same entity will get sucked into your bootyass, use it as a bouncehouse, and inflict major tickle upon it (even if you are bootyass process)!
