Patently Silly is the lovechild of a stand-up comedian with an engineering degree and a graphic designer with an intellectual property attorney for a father.Exploring the daftest and most bizarre patented inventions ever envisioned, from the Solo-operable Seesaw to the Talking Toilet Paper Roll Holder; the Pet-operated Ball Thrower to the Cat-Shaped Mouse Trap, "Patently Silly" will be a must-read for garage tinkerers, science geeks and dreamers who believe that gravity is no impediment to flight.
