Today in the city of Passchendale, Democratic Colonies, a man by the name of Walter Bronson claimed to have invented shower curtains. Registering his claim with the Passchendale Metropolitan Court and the Colonial Patents Office, Bronson demanded immediate royalties from any and all persons that have used, or continue to use what he claims is his invention.

Outside of the Passchendale Central Court, Bronson told reporters "If I didn't invent the shower curtain, then who did? Did it just invent itself? No - because I invented it. Therefore, I am entitled to royalties from everyone that has ever benefited from my work, my invention."

The Colonial Government, when commented, had not yet prepared a comment on the matter. Local district attourneys are having difficulty locating any record of a previous statement of invention for the shower curtain.
