The best patented invention?
In my opinion the best patented invention is an object
called Hex Egger.
What's that? A small instrument that turns a hardboiled egg
into a cube. At first sight it can look stupid to
choose such an object since there is little difference
between a round egg and
a cubic one, except, for instance, to decorate a dish. Why is
it so important then? Simply because each time
you have a glance at such an unexpected thing
1. You see the world differently, which can help you
invent other (useful or unuseful) things
2. You smile. What is more important
than smiling, than feeling happy?
(If you have an answer
to this fundamental question, it would deserve
to be...patented)
