Let us not forget that MIT has a patent on the laboratory mouse, and I

        It was the best stupid idea I remembered until I heard of them

        Now you did it, "Feed mayonnaise to Tuna fish before you kill them,
this
        way it is pre-made when you can them."

        I'm afraid that line is copyrighted from the movie "Night Shift" and
you
        will be hearing from Paramount's lawyers unless you are paying
royalties to
        them to use that phrase :-)

        Sorry couldn't resist!

        Here is a fun site for all you would be inventors.

Patents.
