What next... (Score 1)

Perhaps they will next try to patent a system in which each house is represented by a 4 or 5 digit number, followed by a name which will be used to designate each 'street', and they will then group some of theses 'streets' into 'towns'. Microsoft will then proceed to create some proprietary software called MS-Address, and they will sue the US Post Office for infringing on their intellectual property. For that matter, they can sue the patent office for using this system too, since I'm sure their headquarters uses a 'un-liscenses' address
