The world’s largest wireless phone company, Cingular, applied last week to patent emoticons. Good luck with that one – didn’t Al Gore try to patent the internet at one time?
Actually, this sounds like a great idea, and I’m gonna start filling out some patent applications this afternoon. A few possibilities are as follows:
1. Photocopies of my ass.
2. Paris Hilton’s sex tape.
3. Blogging. All of it. All your blogs are belong to us.
4. Those notes that got passed around in school: “Will you go with me? Check ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ or ‘maybe’ and please return to my B.F.F.”
5. The cute little html tag that does this when we want to tell the world to fuck off halfway say something that we actually mean and follow it up with pithy humour. Yeah, that one.

Can I patent “LOL”?
You nailed number 5 – love it!
I’d patent my boobs, but uh, no. Shoulda done that a few years back. And let me tell you, I have those notes laying all over the house. I can’t believe I used to write them myself. *shaking head in shame*
