Inventions

Postby LANDROVER ROGER » Wed Feb 25, 2009 9:54 am

Roadway cat`s eyes were invented by a chap that was driving at night and suddenly saw a cat walking in the roadway towards him.The car headlamps were reflected back by the cat`s eyes.If the cat had been walking away from him,he would probably have invented the pencil sharpener.

Television was invented in Ireland in 1923. Sadly there was nothing on at the time, so it never really caught on.

Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone, he just exploited someone else's idea and pulled a few strings at the patent office. Thomas Alva Edison made a good going career doing much the same. The greatest inventor of all time was the Irishman, Pat Pending. Or maybe Leonarda Da Vinci, who invented the motorbike. But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and the famous particle physicist, Stephen Hawkwind. He invented a silver machine.

Sir Sharkalot Herringbone. He invented a brand new penguin-skin frogman's suit for shark hunters. Being made of bits of dead penguins, it tended to pong a bit. But at £49.95p, it wasn't to be sniffed at.

That's all I know about sharking inventions. Sharking? I take it that's what you meant?

Informally mingling with the crowds in St. Peter's Square was invented by Julius xxiv in 1784, when the Vatican's balcony collapsed.

Heard on the news this morning that Hans Niesenbumpsadaisy,the inventor of inflatable shoes has died.He popped his clogs.
He also did some early work on a microwave bed which gave you eight hours sleep in ten minutes.

The bustle was invented in the mid-1800's to expand the fullness or support the drapery of the back of a woman's dress. It became quite the thing amongst the genteel ladies of Victorian society. Victoria herself never wore one, she just had an enormous arse.
