U.S. patent 6,025,810: "Hyper-Light-Speed Antenna", issued Feb. 15, 2000:

"The present invention has discovered the apparent existence of a new
dimension capable of acting as a medium for [RF] signals. Initial
benefits of penetrating this new dimension include sending RF signals
faster than the speed of light, extending the effective distance of RF
transmitters at the same power radiated, penetrating known RF shielding
devices, and accelerating plant growth exposed to the by-product energy
of the RF transmissions."

Snif. Kinda makes you all weepy and proud, doesn't it? Is this a great
country, or what. Hope y'all got your flags out and wavin'.

It's all there, at http://uspto.gov.
