Animal toy riddle

Animal Toy riddle

What is this patent about?

The title of this patent is "animal toy," and he says it may be made of "wood" or "wood composites." That's right; the dude is trying to patent the stick.

We admire this man's vision. We guess he was just sitting in the park one day with his dog, saw a nearby twig, and had the revolutionary idea to throw the stick and make the dog chase it. We can totally picture the dog bringing the stick back and this guy's eyes going wide. He slowly lifts the stick to his face and says, "EUREKA!" then goes sprinting through the park, waving the stick in strangers' faces and shouting, "Compared to me, Thomas Edison was turds."

Now, that may have been reasonable if the above events had taken place in, say, 12,000 B.C., instead of 1999 when the patent was filed. It doesn't matter now, this guy's got the stick patent and soon every forest in the planet is about to be sued out of existence for infringement.

Kant was his name...

Mary and Mrs. Clark

In a city, there lives a young girl named Mary, and her mother, Mrs. Clark. They work for a vain man, named Mr. Nelson, who owns a very big house.

On one day, a competition is announced, the competition is about the best house. The owner will get $5 million, if they do it by themselves. Despite the rules of the competition, Mr. Nelson forced Mary and Mrs. Clark to clean the house, and cheated. When the judges arrive to inspect, they find the house very clean and were about to give Mr. Nelson the $5 million.

Mr. Nelson hides Mary and Mrs. Clark in a room, so they wouldn’t tell the judges he cheated. He locks them up, and threatens them that everything they have would be gone if they told.

Mary uses a pin to unlock the door, and she and Mrs. Clark hurry to Mr. Nelson’s office cameras. They take the footage of them cleaning and take them to the judges before it’s too late.

The judges watch the footage, and send Mr. Nelson to jail for cheating and mistreating Mary and Mrs. Clark. The judges award Mary and Mrs. Clark the $5 million, and give them the right to take Mr. Nelson’s house.
