put violent pricks in cages
live by the sword, die by it. not going to analyze these snot-nosed outlandish claims by paul allen, beyond mentioning the rumor (doesn’t matter if true) that when airplanes were developed using corrugated aluminum, some french twats asserted that “their” big idea of having the corrugations run the length of the fuselage instead of vertically was intellectual “property” for which “royalties” were due anytime someone did the obvious.
paul allen should have these “patents” shoved up his diseased rectum until he moans or screams or whispers uncle:
