Confirmation that the worlds gone mad.

  1. MacDonalds tried to patent the use of Mac in front of names for personal
    or business use and nearly got away with it. Apparently they had no idea
    where it came from.
    There have been some dodgy dealing done in the US patents office.

    Boeing tried to take AirBus to court for using their patented wing flap
    actuation design. AirBus proved that Boeing's filled patent was false
    and that the designer of the flap was actually working for AirBus at the
    time of the design. Someone had slipped a predated patent in to the
    patent office's computer filing system

  2. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Mick Whittingham
    Wankers. They've been sending letters to chippies owned by folks by the
    name of MacDonald telling them to cease and desist. They tried to
    intimidate a chain in Ireland called "Supermac's", but were promptly
    told to go and shite.
