[TowerTalk] Patentability

[Jeff Stai WK6I]

hi - Anyone who has doubts that -anything- can be patented, need
only to read the abstract of #5443036 to be convinced otherwise:

 http://patent.womplex.ibm.com/details?pn=US05443036__

"US5443036: Method of exercising a cat 

"A method for inducing cats to exercise consists of directing a beam
of invisible light produced by a hand-held laser apparatus onto the
floor or wall or other opaque surface in the vicinity of the cat, then
moving the laser so as to cause the bright pattern of light to move in
an irregular way fascinating to cats, and to any other animal with a
chase instinct."

'nuff said.
