![]() WASHINGTON -- If you think keeping fit is merely mind over matter, Lester Clancy has an invention for you: a cordless jump-rope. That's right, a jump-rope minus the rope. All that's left is two handles, so you jump over the pretend rope. Or if you are truly lazy, you can pretend to jump over the pretend rope. And for that idea kicking around Clancy's head since 1988, the U.S. Patent Office this month awarded the 52-year-old Mansfield, Ohio, man a patent. Its number: 7037243. Get the full story! I'm on the waiting list. I'm gonna sit on my couch and pretend to jump my imaginary rope while watching television and eating chips. -John- -------------------- |

it's useless, but i wonder how much higher it'll cost than a REAL jumprope?
