I saw this article in one of the smaller local papers here and have been giggling ever since. I am embarrassed to say it was *on the front page*, which perhaps can be excused only by the fact that these inventors (and I use the term loosely) are locals. Or that it was a *really* slow news day. I can only hope.

My favorite parts:
"they're idea men, not engineers"
and
the reporter needed to quote a professor at USC to point out the obvious?
