Do you have a teenager who hates cleaning up? In 1984, the boy Andy Smith sent a letter to President Ronald Reagan asking the president for public funds so that his bedroom could be cleaned, as his mother had said it looked like a disaster area.
Reagan replied that there were not really any funds available at the moment as it had been a year of quite a few natural disasters including hurricanes, floods, forest fires, droughts and earthquakes. In addition, Reagan added that his government actually encouraged people to do things themselves or start a voluntary initiative, instead of relying on government grants. Markus

Bullet proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers were all invented by women.

Quote:
The first bullet proof vest was invented in 1538 by Filippo Negroi. The first modern design was invented by Casimir Zeglen in 1897. Both of them were of the masculine persuasion. One of the first fire escapes was invented in England in 1784, Daniel Maseres. But Anna Connelly held the first patent for the more recognizable external permanently mounted stairs on the sides of buildings in 1886 You are correct that a woman invented the windshield wiper However Gary Starkweather invented the laser printer in 1969 at the Xerox research lab in Webster, New York. 2/4 ain't bad.

Have you ever wondered where the city name Gotham City comes from in Batman?
The name takes us all the way back to medieval England, where an English village became known as Goat's Town when the town was reportedly inhabited by not so clever people. This impression they should have given themselves to avoid a strict king. Author Washington Irving gave New York the unflattering nickname in 1801, which was taken up by Batman's creator Bill Finger when he stumbled upon the name Gotham Jewelers in the phone book. Markus
