A friend suggested that I forward this to you
for possible use on your IP list --

Further proof, if any was needed, that the Patent
Office is completely out of control: #6,960,975.
It's a patent for what appears to be warp-drive.

The bloody abstract reads like it was lifted directly from a
Star Trek script. But golly, I can't imagine why I think of using
        "quantized vortices of lattice ions projecting a
         gravitomagnetic field that forms a spacetime curvature anomaly."

It's not clear if the "inventor" is crazy, pulling a hoax, or both.
Unfortunately, the same must also be said for the USPTO.
