Japanese obsession with watermelon strikes me the most.

Its often in anime.

So typical.

Pretty sure the results they're seeing are what people in their demographic are searching.

Anywhere outside of America, this guy's state, or even his city, would produce varied results for the same query.

I always thought the US was patent crazy if not litigious crazy.

Its in many ways unintegratable into many countries, as it has pre-requisites. It requires some sort of capitalist system before its even valid (if you don't even have water or land property rights, how can you have idea property rights?) IE: In the US you have to pay for water, and people do own more water than other people. Some have billions of gallons - others are allowed none other than what they need to immediately survive.

My neighbor owns more water than I do? Crazy.

My neighbor owns a number that says he thought up an idea that already existed? Crazy.

They will sue anyone who tries to copy ideas without paying them money - even if the idea was thought up thousands of years ago halfway around the world, just never give a modern patent number

US patent system has an incredible amount of plagiarism. They copy things like computer logic that some guy wrote on a wall in ancient Mayan culture.

Thats gonna get me in trouble. But arguably, the US patent system (a very modern idea) is mostly invalid in most of the world. If the US did not have nukes, most of the power of their international legal system would diminish as well. Should Putin pay Nasa for the thousands of aerospace patents? Should Kim Jong Il pay Nasa? Will they pay? Of course not.
