Patently Stupid: In my very serious law school preparation, I came across this site that has great pieces, such as the following patents:
1. U.S. Patent 4,022,227 (May 10, 1977) is a patent for a “Method of concealing partial baldness” described more particularly in the abstract as “[a] method of styling hair to cover partial baldness using only the hair on a person's head. The hair styling requires dividing a person's hair into three sections and carefully folding one section over another.” Yup. It’s a patent for the dreaded “comb-over.” No joke. We’ve all witnessed the results of this amazing invention, which works so effectively that no one notices the baldness, provided they are sight-impaired and at a distance of more than 200 yards.
2. U.S. Patent 6,834,453 (Dec. 28, 2004) is for another genius invention: a piece of foam in the shape of an “M” that you wear on your head. The invention, appropriately named the “Head Mounted Letter ‘M’ Display,” is designed for sports fans who want to support their teams that begin with the letter “M.” The funniest aspect of this patent is all the complex diagrams of a guy wearing an "M" on his head. Go check it out at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office website.— Thanks to David Barman. Full text for these incredible inventions is available at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website, patft.uspto.gov.
