me and some people were told that if we swam across a big
lake we would be able to get
free patents on stuff. although i didn't have anything to patent i figured i'd come up with
something during the
swim. since i had swam the lake many times before (
odd, since in real life i'm quite
afraid of swimming) i decided to go for it.
i was about to
dive in head first, but recently someone had built up the bottom of the lake with decorative
tile and now the lake was only about 3 inches deep until about 20 feet out from
shore, where there was a sharp
drop off. we walked to the drop off dove in and started across. when we arrived at the other side, it appeared to be some sort of
technology show. i had not thought of anything to patent, and i didn't see how anything i could think of would compete with the
stuff i saw there. so i swam back across the lake.
