Heh. One of my colleagues sent it to me earlier today. This is quite a proof of just how messed up the USPTO has become since Bush loaded it with his cronies. A friend of mine who's worked his entire career as a patent examiner told me a couple of years back that they've all been told point-blank they will suffer disciplinary action, up to and including demotion and firings, if they reject "too many" patent applications, for any reason -- because patents, it seems, are pro-big-business, and the more of them, the better.
My favorite sentence from the patent: "It was this experiment that resulted in making first contact with the androids of the Grey aliens who told me, in a remote viewing session, that "We saw you blowing smoke into hyperspace."
BTW, for the sake of accuracy I should point out that this is just an patent application, and has not been approved (yet). I wouldn't put it past the USPTO, tho'...
