OK lah… Michael J Jackson the King of Pop is dead… now what?
invention, life, patent June 30th, 2009Ever since the first news about the death of the King of Pop, the internet was like haunted by him… any site you visit, there will be stories about the King of Pop’s death.
The youtube is no exception… suddenly it was flooded with MJ’s tribute videos.
OK, all his fans are sad… deeply sad about his sudden departure… but life must go on. He may be better dead than living… more peaceful on the other side than going through his scandalous life over the other side.
And now another scandal crop up… Is he dead or not?… Haiyaaa….
OK… OK… I don’t want to talk about his death anymore… I want to talk something else about him…
Not about his songs or the songs he wrote… not about MJ videos… not about Michael Jackson’s dance moves… errr… well it has something to do with his dance move actually…
OK… OK… I want to talk about Michael J Jackson’s invention!!!… YES, his INVENTION!!!… Yes, he did invent something and patented it… probably more than one invention or patent…
😛 😀 😮 😉
The invention I want to tell is his ‘Method and means for creating anti-gravity illusion’…
Here is something I copied from Google…
