Feminine Undergarment with Calendar
US Patent 5606748"This invention relates to a feminine undergarment with a calendar, more particularly the wearer of the garment can easily tell the starting date of her next period.
Conventionally, in order to tell the starting date of a woman's next period, methods for remembering the date until the next month, computing the cycle to determine the starting date, or recording previous dates in a memo or a notebook to find out the date of the start of the next period are generally known and have been popularly practiced.
However, it is not only difficult but also quite troublesome and complicated to remember the date of the next period, compute the cycle, and record the results.
This invention has been made to provide a feminine undergarment that can solve all these aforementioned troublesome problems."

Cheese-Filter Cigarette
US Patent 3234948"This invention contemplates the provision of a cigaret filter which comprises particulate milk derived cheese used alone or in a mixture with particles of charcoal. By preference, the charcoal has been acid washed. In order that the cheese may comprise small and welldefined particles between which the smoke can pass freely, it is preferred to use a hard cheese as exemplified by Parmesan, Romano or Swiss cheese. Aged Cheddars and other "hard" cheeses may also be used, particularly if partially dehydrated to facilitate grating, it being important that the cheese be particulate. Since the cheese is just as effective when flavor is wholly lacking, it is contemplated that an inexpensive cheese may be manufactured especially for filter purposes. Essentially, it will be a hard cheese on the order of those listed above and may use a vegetable rennet. While commercial cheeses of the types indicated are perfectly satisfactory, a cheese made especially for filter processes may be lower in cost and more uniform in the qualities desired for this service."

Many of us become so frustrated by some task that we are undertaking that we would like to "scream". Others of us get angry at another person, happening, event, or the like, so mad that we would like to vent our anger by screaming or yelling. We generally suppress the desire because we would look foolish and also disturb others."
