John Montagu (the 4th Earl of Sandwich) is generally credited as being the inventor of the sandwich, or at least the concept of two pieces of bread with filling between them was made popular by him.  Now, almost 300 years later, McDonalds wants to patent the process!  If they receive the patent, say goodbye to your tasty BLT butties at the corner deli, and close the curtains when you make a sandwich in the kitchen, because the Big-M wants (more) of your money!
