"Bzzzzt.  I'm sorry.  But keep this lively consolation prize as our gift."

A patent is documentation of an idea, that is all.  Lot's of goofy,
non-working things have received patents.  The proof comes a lot further
down the lane, maybe.

And what would the patent office do, build and test all that stuff?  No,
there's no prize here. Nice try though.

Cheers,

Tom
