Yoga Patented ? How far can human stupidity reach ?

Someone in america has Patented some Yoga exercises and techiques.

[...] In Sanskrit, "yoga" means "union." Indians believe in a universal mind – brahman – of which we are all a part, and which ponders eternally. Everyone has access to this knowledge.

Knowledge in ancient India was protected by caste lines, not legal or economic ones. The term "intellectual property" was an oxymoron: the intellect could not be anybody's property. [...]

It is on most newspaper today, read on for example at Herald Tribune.

This patent and copyright thing is becoming more and more ridiculous every day.

    I agree the ability to patent things has gone too far and is ridiculous in many cases.
