		bhavin on Sept 28, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Patent US6368227 - Method of swinging on a swing I went through both Samsung and MSFT patents that 'refer' to this patents. This patent, in both cases, is cited by the examiner. So, my idea behind that is the examiner either didn't like his job or had a good sense of humor about whole patent process!

Or it was a form of protest. Those patents are now tied to absurdist humor forever.
