Some of these are beyond stupid and society would not be as advanced as it is now if they would have allowed people to patent obvious ideas offline as they do online.

Imagine a patent on the wheel, the car, auctions, writing, a book, fire, food, a house, water pipes, the letter Z.

I'm all for reasonable IP protection, but some of the online patents they've been handing out are fucking stupid.
