The Super Soaker was invented by a nuclear engineer out of a PVC pipe and Coke bottle
Lonnie Johnson first sold the idea to Lamari by firing it inside their Philadelphia offices. He was then introduced to Hasbro — awesomeness has ensued ever since.
Wait, so an effeminate white man stole something cool from a black man, suitably renamed for his time and era? That's racist!

Yes, he was always white and you're not retarded.

it wasn't MJ who invented it, nor was it this Bill Bailey. it was Clint Eastwood, who was actually Marty McFly, who invented it back in 1885

At least you have the honour of the USA vs Canada being the first international cricket match.
AnyoneForCoffee
Yeah, we call it 'Rounders' though. It's too dangerous for schoolgirls to play cricket so…..
Perkins Maxwell
Yeah, it also wasn't "baseball" as we know it. Even the game in the mid-19th c didn't look much like today. Wasn't until after the Civil War that the game really started to become standardized. (because troops from different states met for the first time.) The standard version is primarily derived from the rules as it was played in New York before the Civil War.

Funny story about my first time playing Rounders. We were using a heavy rubber ball and the weight of it forced my hand forward which made the small bat fly out of my hand. It flew 20 feet and hit my ex-sister-in-law in the stomach, knocking her to the ground. I always hated that bitch. hahaha.

I read the first sentence and then skipped to the last to see how it ended. I gotta say, I was pretty interested in what you had to write.
Jahat
Pretty sure the "baseball" being referred to is cricket
Chook
Pretty sure it's rounders and not cricket.

would you rather get raped in the butthole by men who can't do anything with their desires ORA?!

#11 Well, that one failed. I can testify to the fact that it failed. From personal experience.
curiousj
I'm sorry, but this needs back up. I have read and heard Dr. Kellogg's biography and have even read about it. Never had I even heard of it being created for the purpose of suppressing carnal desires. Everything else I read was of general knowledge of him though. Can you give me a link or a citation?
Dantheloser
Can I give you a link?!
NJF
Yeah a picture of you jerking it while eating corn flakes.
Dantheloser
Do you really want to see that? Really?

There's a movie about it. It's got that Wormey dude from ferris Beullers day off. Matthew broody. Or Brody. I never claimed I could spell.

#6 I invented the high five…no big deal

"It seemed like the thing to do." Coolness can't be taught, just felt.
The hands never went higher then their shoulders, I call it a mid 5.
Chris
..close enough!
fignewton
I call ABSOLUTE BULL SHIT! No single person invented the high five…..
paulhitchcock
Well *somebody* had to be the first one (or two) to do it.
swells
And to top it off… he was the first openly gay athlete. So the most used gesture by "men" was created by a gay guy. Think about the next time you give a high five.
bluuh
Did he also create the fanny smack?
Cal1
No2 I beleive is incorrect, bag pipes were Greek or more importantly Macedonian, of which the Persians during their invasion that hey lost adapted the idea. Greek ftw

#12 If this guy thought graham crackers would stop carnal urges, he obviously never anticipated the invention of the S'more.

I always heard Graham crackers were sold as a cure for alcoholism. Another fail.

#18 I knew James Naismith invented basketball, but I didn't realize he was Canadian.
Corey
they used peach baskets for the net, with a hole in the bottom of them. when someone would get a goal they had to use a broom handle to poke the ball back out.
Anon
you watched that heritage commercial too many times 😛

Actually Dr. Naismith invented game of basketball in Lawrence, Kansas.

I'll give you one guess where he was born

Dumbass, just because he later coached Kansas, doesn't mean that's where it was invented. I really hope for your sake and for kansas as an educational institution you were just trolling.

Dude, we are still required to teach Creationism in Kansas. Who are you kidding?

Nope, Springfield, Mass.

Actually, Dr. Naismith invented the game of basketball in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the Basketball Hall of Fame is located. Dumbass.

#9 is actually somewhat disappointing. I mean, he could have just had one "cat flap" for the larger cat, and the smaller one could have used it too. But hey, he's likely the genius, right?
had
not really, he wasn't as smart as people portray him to be.

yeah, you're right. i reinvent calculus every few weeks or so. just to stay fresh.

#17 I always thought there was a similarity to Rounders.
FionnR
Sorry lads but Rounders, the game upon which Baseball is based is actually Irish…it's one of the five GAA sports: Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie, Handball and Rounders…so, not English…Irish 🙂
AnyoneForCoffee
To be accurate, the first 'national rules' were indeed drawn up by the GAA in 1884, but the game itself originated in Tudor England with 'informal rules' drawn up in 1828 where it was called, wait for it….'base-ball'!
And we're back!
[/dickslapping]
FionnR
I did not know that…cool 🙂
mike
True. but the earliest reference to BASE BALL in the states was in Copperstown, New York. The first team was the New York Knickerbockers. The first "baseball" game was recorded taken place in Hoboken, New Jersey
Mathias
#19 is not true.
The blow up doll was invented in Germany, yes, but it wasn't invented until 1955, so it wasn't by Nazis.
And please, do not ask me how I know this.
You know that is an open invitation and a taunt to indeed ask you how you know this?

Bayer also invented/[roduced Ziklon B…
asdf
yep, and mustard gas. After WWII the company was broken up, because you know, they're evil. But through the decades since, they (Bayer) managed to piece themselves back together again and now the deathstar is fully operational again. So beware of Bayer. Which sucks, because they also make Flintstone vitamins.
