Saw a preview for a movie coming out on Friday. It's about Robert Kearns who patented the intermittent windshield wiper. He later sued Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler for stealing his idea and eventually got $30 million.
Might not pay theater prices to see it but will rent for sure. Who would have thought the guy who invented the wiper delay would get a movie made about him...
