I don't understand the intricacies completely, but even when a patent owner is late paying the maintenance fees, there are additional hoops that they can jump through in order to get the patent "turned on" again. But I think that the more time goes by, the harder it is.

I like it that a patent owner has to do a little work to keep a patent active. It furthers progress in inventing stuff when an idea isn't legally tied up for decades.

Oh, and I also like it that Google has indexed all the patents so you can search them. It was easy for me to find that prior patent on the same idea. I think the new invention can patent putting a wick in the recycling container to make a candle. I think that little bit is new. But I think that's it.

Over on FB somebody shared a WTF album. Some were repeats that have appeared here. Some were boring. But some were new to me and worth sharing.

That last one makes me think of something I heard an old guy say once:

Have fun, no matter what.

Image 2 Fig 2, Image 4 Fig 8, and Image 8 Fig 11, clearly show a wick.

It would appear that the owner of this shabby rubbish cart has aspirations to own a classier vehicle. The dirt-covered wagon was spotted with a Mercedes Benz logo and radiator grill in Jilin city, northeast China's Jilin Province

It would be interesting to know if it's his aspirations, him mocking the pretentious, or a wicked sense of humor. :haha:

Felching? Don't think so. :headshake

Must be a relative of felching 'cause its still sticking a small rodent in a hole ;)

Gravdigr 06-01-2014 12:46 PM
I've never heard of felching involving a rodent. This is the definition of felching as I've heard of it.

Forget the limbs sprouting from the torso during puberty...I'm actually more interested in the "scratch-built hump yard".



"hump yard" has something to do with trains? Yes, no, maybe?
