"This enables even young users to swing independently and joyously, which is of great benefit to all."

Somebody, apparently, has gone and patented a different way of swinging on a swing. A more entertaining way, he claims; I've tried it (as really, who hasn't) and I have to disagree. But it appears just about anything can indeed be patented these days.

On the other hand, this discovery, I'm pleased to say, came on the heels of one of those hours-long college-dorm-type conversations (in this case, about hypothetical ramifications of various kinds of limited time travel) that I haven't had in way too long--so yay for that.

I used to swing that way. I should have patented it, dammit.

Funny, I thought you still did swing that way...though I seriously doubt one could patent that. ;-)
