Its about time I patent my life in earth

You might have read about crazy and absurd patents granted by the US and European Patent offices.
Following are two good sites listing the most impractical/illlogical patents granted:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/crazy.html

 But the best ones are the following patents by Arthur Paul Pedrick - an extremely prolific British inventor in the 1960's. Bursting with ideas, he clearly felt that he had to share them with the world, without bothering about the practicality of the ideas.

Some good patents are:
1.UK Patent No. GB1047735. Piping snow and ice balls from Antarctica to irrigate the Australian desert. The patent suggests this will solve the world famine problem. The snowballs accelerate under gravity from 10,000 feet (3,000m) high on the Antarctic plateau, reaching 500 miles per hour (800km/hr) at sea level. They are then pumped naturally through the pipelines, by the Coriolis force due to the Earth's rotation.

2. UK Patent No. GB1361962. Pedrick's ultimate deterrent to solve the Cold War. The UN places three nuclear bombs on earth-orbiting satellites. If these detect that one of the superpowers has been nuked by one of the others, they are automatically programmed to drop on Washington, Moscow and Peking, ensuring the mutual destruction of all three.

3.UK Patent No. GB1453920. A solution to a "Towering Inferno" fire in a skyscraper. Rolled-up fire curtains are provided at roof level. When a fire starts, the curtains are released to envelope the sides of the building and extinguish the fire by suffocating it. So that the occupants of the building can breathe, they must go to certain rooms, where apertures in the fire curtains allow air to get in.

4. UK Patent No. GB1204648. Irrigating the Sahara Desert by piping fresh water from the mouth of the Amazon. The patent also suggests an alternative to the Channel Tunnel between England and France. Both use a semi-buoyant tube submerged 200 feet below the sea surface. Patent drawing: GB1204648

Brimming with bleeding edge technology ideas??? Well... I got that feeling too. Please post ur comments patentable ideas.
