Wow! 8O 8O 8O some wacky patents out there...you gots any?? check this one out 8O

UK Patent No. GB1361962. Pedrick's ultimate deterrent to solve the Cold War. The UN places three nuclear bombs on earth-orbiting satellites. If these detect that one of the superpowers has been nuked by one of the others, they are automatically programmed to drop on Washington, Moscow and Peking, ensuring the mutual destruction of all three.

I'd change that to "drop the nuke on wherever Bush is at the moment" assuring the desctruction of stupidity and a 50 point rise in the average IQ of the world.

I invented a device for pulling rotted fence posts out of the ground. It's 2 slabs of 1/4 inch plate with pointy bits sticking out of them. You just tighten the bolts that hold them together, ram a Jack-All under one corner, and start jacking. The post either comes out or breaks off slightly under ground level.

I'd imagine that about a million other guys have invented the exact same device out of pure desperation. I wonder if anybody ever patented it?

I remember a TV show called "Brass" - a very dark, but funny, sitcom of sorts, about a First World War industrialist. One of his many schemes aimed at making piles of said "brass", was to design and build new weapons for the War Office. One of his ideas was for the "anti-tank boot"; a boot with a high explosive charge in the toecap, to be detonated by squaddies running up tanks, and kicking them.

Wouldn't that hat be for non-smokers? Us smokers tend not to ind a little smoke in the air after all. ;-)

Think of the possibilities though Rev...we might be able to smoke in the bar again...of course we'd have to wear one of those stupid things on our head...but wotthehell... :?
