Patently Silly

I just came across a wonderful blog that underscores why we need patent reform. Patently Silly - The Humor of Invention - presented by Daniel Wright. Here is an example:
Whipped Cocoa Bath
patent#: US 6753303
Heart Shaped Cheese Slice
patent#: US D491711
No these isn't from the bad old day when the PTO was accused of letting anything go through -- both patents were issued a year ago - June 22, 2004.

(note the blog also as a list of links to other, more serious patent law discussions)
