It is insane the things people patent. For instance take a look at the patent found here. It is pretty much a linked list with a couple extra links. Basically, it is extension of a basic data structure used on almost a daily basis. Heck, this is the first data structure most computer programmers learn how to program, and someone has managed to patent it. Being able to do this is pure stupidity, and it shows how broken our patent laws are. You shouldn't be able to patent something that is already widely used. Period.
