Remember that looney business with the Brazilian selling her virginity on line a while ago?

I hope the sale doesn't include the patent of the word 'The' , otherwise my sentence will look like this in the future:

Are words priced on their size and complexity, like Scrabble?  If so, I need to go start a listing for 'flapjack' and 'quizzify'.

I reckon it will be classed as some form of art :( :-\. Still if the person can make money from it, why not?

I am going to wait until the last 20 seconds and then get my bid in - no way I am going to let that little beauty get away.

I already have 'lion' and 'king',  so the full set will soon be mine :)

No, think of where real profit lies. Would you prefer a patent on MP4 players, or one on water?

I hope you've got the right ones. Check the capitalisation.
