Long title, yes, but this is a good read, especially when you see the first computer ever invented and the first sub invented.

Wow, I would have never guessed for number one. Poor guys, I wouldn't have labeled it, either.

Awesome, thanks for the post. The heat ray and flamethrower were the ones that really got me.

Wow.... I did not know.... Vending Machines were that old.
I pretty much figured that number one was as old as mankind.
Sex is one of the main things to propel science and technology.

Keith Valken Lionheart Behatzlacha-S Thank you for posting this! I'm going to track down/build working copies of some of these, if I can. It's my new project. I've just decided. xd Jes' make sure to build a #1. I'm sure the upstanding gentleladies of this fine guild would...like to procure one, for SCIENCE! And fer use as bludgeoning weapon. Actually, here in Texas, I think it's actually "more legal" to buy a "#1" for use as a bludgeoning weapon than as its, erm, rightfully intended use. If you are likely to be offended, or do not want #1 spoiled for you and spelled out in a rather obvious way, do not highlight the following white text: The sex shop next door to my apartment (again, I'm here in Dallas, Texas) has "Novelty Item!" stickers on EVERYTHING in the store, except for the condoms and the lube and edible things like lewdly-shaped candy, because the Texas government and/or local officials have decided there are non-novelty uses for those items or some crock as that.
Some of them even have "Cake Topper" stickers instead, perhaps to insinuate that they maybe used as novelty cake ornaments at bachelor and bachelorette parties, but there are a lot of things labelled as such that I wouldn't imagine putting on, in, or near a cake. In fact, the manufacturer's intended orifice of insertion is often likely quite the opposite end of the digestive tract from where a cake goes.(End White Text) This sort of backward logic is also responsible for why, in many parts of Texas, you can't buy Liquor during certain hours or locations on Sunday, because "some people" go to church on Sunday and supposedly it's sinful to drink on Sunday. And then people go to church and get to drink wine. JESUS drank wine all the time, dangit. Anyway, great list! I already knew about several of them, especially #11, #10, #9, #8, #6, #4, #3. Well, not the specifics of course, but like trivia and I spend a lot of time (spend, waste, what's the difference?) perusing tidbits on Wikipedia and other sites, so I was at least aware of them.
