Michael Jackson, Inventor

Thanks to my friend Leigha for pointing this one out.

Michael Jackson was a great entertainer, but did you know he was also an inventor?

US Patent #5,255,452, "Method and Means for Creating Anti-Gravity Illusion," is the design for a specially designed pair of shoes that allow the wearer to lean forward well beyond his or her center of gravity without falling.

Here is a video of the shoes in action... fast forward to 3:43 in the video.
