I like the patent application for "Animal Toy," a stick-like device that's supposed to be a dog's chew toy. Left undefined are little matters such as the toy's shape, construction, or material. Thus, it could cover pretty much anything of interest to a dog.
The fellow who thought up that "invention" clearly had no original ideas at all, but simply wanted to so broadly describe his "toy" that the patent would include every kind of chew toy imaginable, including natural bones, sticks, etc. He must have thought he could then claim infringement and sic his lawyers on everyone from Hartz Mountain to Mother Nature. Hilarious!
