PREDICTION: Tiger Woods Spits on Golf Course, Harlequin Patent on Kissing
This is about 2 or 3 days old, but I fell behind in stuff I wanted to post.
It's from Blog #3717371.
There's mention of Jared Sullinger who was getting spit on. About 12 hours later, Tiger Woods was said to have spit on the Golf Course.
The same Blog Entry also talked about the Joker because of the news article about Laughing Gas to be possibly used for laboring moms. Harlequin is the sidekick or minion of the Joker. The book publisher Harlequin surfaced 12 hours later about patenting a kiss.
Standing alone, these news articles would be considered weak. However, together and within 24 hours of the other news articles, these 2 become more solid.

Ohio State's Jared Sullinger Says Wisconsin Fans Spit on Him
I believe it
Wisconsin is 5/29
However, the other thing is that Jared Sullinger is born 3/4 for Vermont
It's Davis' birthday today as 2/14 of 2011
3/4 as Vermont is an old Software Program of Mont as his middle name he used to go by
On his birthday, you see a State Date Person getting spit on
The other thing is that the name is "Red" for Isabe11a Va1entine
Because of the discontent with me as the 5/29 Wisconsin, you see "spitting" on a person tagged with Red (Ja-RED) for Isabe11a Va1entine and Davis born Valentine's Day

Laughing Gas Returning As Option for Laboring Moms
It's unfortunate I can't prove this one
I was thinking about the Joker vs. Batman
That's the Laughing Gas Theme

Harlequin Attempts to Patent the Kiss

Talk about lip service: Harlequin Enterprises, renowned publisher of pulp romance novels, has applied for a patent on the romantic kiss.
The application, if granted, leaves open the possibility that we may one day have to pay a licensing fee to lock lips with the ones we covet.
Don't start worrying yet. Harlequin, which releases 110 novels a month and publishes in 115 countries around the world, said it would keep any patented kisses in the public domain.
"Should this patent be approved and registered by the U.S. Patent Office," the Toronto publisher announced in its seven-page patent application, "we will immediately make the method freely available to all persons everywhere in the interests of enhancing romantic love and generally making the world a better place."
Romance Publisher, Harlequin, Attempts to Patent the Kiss
Harlequin
Harelequin, the romance novel publisher, has filed a patent application for the kiss. Don't worry -- you won't have to pay a licensing fee to kiss someone. If the patent is granted, Harlequin said the kiss will remain in the public domain.
In an interview with AOL News, Michelle Renaud, senior manager of public relations for Harlequin, emphasized that Harlequin hadn't considered charging for kisses. When asked whether the company's stance may one day change, Renaud gave a succinct "No."
The application, filed last week with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, provides a summary of the "invention," as well as six diagrams demonstrating what Harlequin calls the "Essential Romantic Kiss" or "The Kiss."
In a move likely intended to strengthen its case, Harlequin - whose recent titles include "Roughneck Cowboy" and "The Nanny and the CEO" - numbered and titled three steps to carrying out The Kiss.
In the first step, called "The Prelude," kissers "deploy the muscle around the mouth ... to shape their lips in a manner conducive to kissing."
Step 2 involves "The Approach," where couples bring their faces into "close proximity" while Step 3, or "The Seal," occurs when lips touch with "varying degrees of pressure and intensity."
The lips may then "remain attached for an indeterminate period of time," the application noted.
Despite a certain regimentation, Renaud believes The Kiss will reacquaint lovers with the lost art of romance.
"Kissing is a mundane sign of affection these days," she said, "and you don't feel the passion that's needed and the chemistry that's involved in a great kiss. That's why we developed our patent application."
Few legal experts believe, however, that Harlequin will get past first base with the patent office. For one, the application lacks "point of novelty," a legal term that means a claim contains a new or interesting take on an existing invention.
"Based on what I saw, I fail to see what that novelty might be," said Robert Gorman, a New York City patent attorney, in an interview with AOL News. "The application won't go anywhere, but I give them credit for trying. They brought in a draftsman and spent a few thousand dollars to make the attempt look official."

Gorman added, however, that with some creative tweaking, the claim could win over patent officials.
"Put some bells and whistles on it and maybe we can get somewhere," he said.
It's not like Uncle Sam hasn't seen these types of advances before. In 1971, a lothario named William Nutting successfully patented a doll capable of blowing a kiss. Nutting's patent application, like Harlequin's, contained stiff procedural text and rote diagrams demonstrating the action.
With that kind of game, does Harlequin's claim stand a chance?
Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals Improbable Research, a publication that celebrates inane projects in science, medicine and technology, thinks so.
"Harlequin knows what it's doing," Abrahams said via e-mail. "Nothing's more romantic than a seven-page patent application."

Tiger Woods spits on green, golf world splits in prissy fits
By Jay Busbee

You know Tiger Woods hasn't been playing well of late. He had a chance at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic over the weekend before posting a godawful 75, and that was pretty much that. Now, though, word that Woods committed a far greater breach of golf etiquette during the tournament than just, you know, stinking: He spat on the 12th green! Steel your hearts for the horror ahead and take a look:
The audio's a little fuzzy there, but commentator Ewen Murray said that it was "Disgusting, what he has just done there ... there are some parts of him that are just arrogant and petulant. Somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit. It does not get much lower than that."
I dunno, I think plenty of people would be just fine putting over Tiger's spit. (Also, "I Spit On Your Putt" would be a great golf/horror movie.) Sloppy? Sure. But this is going to be turned into another one of those "Tiger doesn't respect the game" rants by the anti-Tiger contingent, and that's unfortunate.
The European Tour, not particularly pleased at this breach of etiquette, announced Monday that it will be fining Woods an undisclosed sum. "Tournament director Mike Stewart has reviewed the incident and feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct and consequently Tiger Woods will be fined," the tour said in a statement.
Tiger soon after apologized via Twitter:
Still, let's be honest here. This is a guy who's seeing his entire world crash down around him; if spitting once in awhile is the worst thing he does, that's not the End Of Civility In The Modern Golf World, and Tiger is not The Root of All Evil, although that'll be the hack takeaway from this. Certainly, it's nowhere near as bad as Sergio Garcia actually spitting into the hole at Doral a few years back.
For his part, Woods has pledged to behave better on the course, showing a bit more respect for the game. This is a step back, yes, but really, a minor one. And he'll get so much grief for it that next time he'll just spit into his golf bag.
Anyway, fire away with your "cheetah" and "let he who is without sin" comments. Those never get old.
