There are many ridiculous inventions for which patents were issued in March. (I am fully aware that the patent issue date has no relation to the date the idea itself was hatched, but…go with it, for the sake of the joke…)
For example: How do you keep your weiner dry on a rainy day?
Why not wear this armband to show your support for Parrot & Pirate Awareness Week?
Tired of always being the “bad cop”? Maybe you just need a kinder, gentler restraint.
On this chindogu page, you may notice a picture of James C. Boyle’s “Saluting Device”, patented on March 10, 1896. Thank you, Mr. Boyle — I tip my saluting device to you.
Julius Caesar supposedly died 2050 years ago. If he were alive today to witness these wonders of modern invention, he might say:
“The Ideas of March are come…”
I would reply: “Ay, Caesar; but (alas!) not gone.”
