Last night at 3:47 AM, while doing Baal runs with my level 78 magic
find Sorceress and eating a plate of potatoes covered in ranch
dressing, I realized that I hadn't posted a history lesson in weeks.
Weeks! What have I been doing with my time? Here's a smattering:
- I've been making outlandish claims about Pink Floyd, still.
- Salt is way cheaper than I thought. $0.69 for a friggin' pound and
a half. Makes me sad that I held out so long. I thought it'd be like
$2.39.
- Max wanted to bring his Epiphone Casino into the studio; I said "I dunno, man, isn't that kind of a gamble?"
- I finished Don Quixote. Decent. Twilight was way better, though.
Shorter sentences, a movie to help me understand the plot, etc.
- I was chastised publicly for failing to tip on a $0.50 beer.
Anyway, let's get to it. Though I like to call myself a history buff, my real area of expertise is in the history of inventions. Do you know your inventors?
We all know that Harriet Tubman invented the tub:
Eli Whitney invented gin:
Ben Franklin invented the kite:
And Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2007 invented the world's largest
and highest-energy particle accelerator at the European Organization
for Nuclear Research:
But who invented the bass trombone?
I'm still trying to figure this out. Please help.
