Patent of the week

Google has a cool new search for patents that I'm hopelessly addicted to. You can find patents for some of the strangest things. As I come across some, I will try to share if I feel that they would be entertaining to the masses.

This one I think most of us who have boys can appreciate. This one is a piss barrier that prevents one from being pissed on while changing a infant boy's diaper. From the abstract:

The people and things in the vicinity of an undiapered baby are protected from being urinated upon by a device which has an open resilient foam band, which is "C" or horseshoe shaped.

If you have a baby boy, you are getting pissed on. It's not a matter of if, but when, and then how often before you get smart and take the necessary precautions... like... changingthediaperreallysuperduperfast... or the change and pray method, for when you're too tired to prevent being pissed on.

I'm not sure how the piss preventer would work really. But it's nice to think that someone who was sick of getting pissed on had the cognitive capacity to come up a solution. Most of us probably just hold the hand out and accept the pissing as a normal part of being a parent to a boy. Not this person though. Not this person. No longer will they be pissed on ladies and gentlemen... no longer.

You go anti-pisser person... it's your birthday... go on...
