Bill Gates is applying for a patent so he can be even more godlike than usual. Remember when I said the MindFLEX could help you be like Jean Grey? Well, Gates wants to one-up Mattel by trying to be like Storm.
Maybe since Gates was voted Person of the Year by TIME a couple years ago, he has adopted a divine quality that only the richest man in the world could have.
Gates submitted patent applications for a technology that would cool the waters that cause hurricanes. Since warm waters cause and increase the intensity of hurricanes, in theory, cooler water would decrease the magnitude of -- or eliminate -- hurricane winds.
CNN describes the potential invention as a series of tubes, which would push warm water down and spurt cool water out.
So, Gates and his team of scientists are going to sit around, wait until a hurricane threat is announced, fly in his private jets to wherever the location is, and then magically suck out warm water and replace it with cooler water, that happens to stay cool?
Have fun with that.
Hey, Gates, if you don't get that patent, go ahead with your plan anyway. If you were anybody but the richest dude in the world, I'd say nay, but since you're you, I'd love to see this hunk of junk in use. Put it on YouTube, please.
