The U.S. Patent office has actually awarded a patent to the 52-year-old inventor of the device, which consists of two plastic handles with a moving weight inside that simulates the sound and rhythm of a jump-rope when held in the hands of a jumping human. The inventor plans to market the device to clumsy people, folks with low ceilings, or those afraid of their kids tripping on the rope -- and to mental institutions and prisons where rope represents a risk of suicide or could be used as a weapon. And it may now be illegal to pretend to jump rope without paying this guy a royalty... -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
