 Obviousness is very subjective.  Patents are issued much to frequently
 at the USPO IMHO.  I understand that even a mouse was recently patented.
 Excuse me but, I thought that there was a certain amount of prior art
 in mouse technology.  I suppose someone will patent the human DNA
 sequence next.

 Just curious Mike but, what types of patents do you write?  Do you
 tell your clients when you see something in their patent request 
 that is obvious to you?  Have you ever claimed the same thing in
 different patents that you have put together?  What happens when 
 different patents, on closer inspection, are found to make 
 overlaping claims.
