Alex: Seriously. I do not know why Gehry has a patent on that thing because no one who is sober will want to make it or buy it.

That cushion would be preposterous if it weren’t so stupid-looking. It doesn’t even look like a fish, more like an abstraction of a Goldfish cracker, which when viewed from the side appears to need half of a training bra. It’s a good thing Gehry doesn’t do snack foods and Pepperidge Farms doesn’t do furniture … well, actually maybe it’d be a good thing if they did do those things, because that would mean more work for me. I bet some tool gave Gehry a design award for it, though.

Oh, and in the case of claiming shapes, i claim the rectangle. Think about how rich I would be! Not to mention all those math books would have to pay me to use it. I’m smelling money already.

Pedro: I also found a patent for a fish-shaped tortilla chip. Not Gehry’s though.

Fly: It’s probably good that you didn’t know. Now you can’t control-z your way out of this knowledge.
