I just can believe what I read, McDonalds has filled a patent application to patent sandwich making, if it wasn't so damn serious would be a matter of the biggest laugh in history along with the Amazon One-Click patent (actually given already).

If this does not prove the whole patent system is a pile of old rubbish please someone explain me this because I am about to jump of the train.

Have a look for yourself.
