5 Accidental Inventions That Changed The World
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
Just ask the inventors of these products, each one having changed the way we live, and each one having come about either by serendipity or complete fuck-up. We're talking about...
#5.
The Microwave Oven
The microwave oven, aka the "Popcorn and Hot Pockets Warmer," was a happy accident that came from, of all things, a weapons program.
Percy LeBaron Spencer was a self-educated engineer working on radar technology in the years following WWII. The technology in question was the sci-fi sounding magnetron, a piece of machinery capable of firing high intensity beams of radiation.
Above: a scientist, with robot.
Apparently, P.L.S., as some have called him, had a bit of a sweet tooth. Or a strange fetish. Either way, he had a candy bar in his pants while he was in the lab one day. The self-proclaimed engineer noticed that the chocolate bar had melted when he was working with the magnetron.
Spencer disregarded the simple idea that his body heat had melted the chocolate in favor of the less logical and therefore more scientific conclusion that invisible rays of radiation had "cooked it" somehow.
A sane man would stop at this point and realize these magical heat rays were landing just inches from his tender scrotum. Indeed, most of the military experts on hand probably dreamed of the battlefield applications of their new Dick-Melting Ray. But like all men of science, Spencer was fascinated and treated his discovery like a novelty. He used it to make eggs explode and pop kernels of corn ("Imagine, a future where a building full of workers in cubicles eat this all day!")
I proclaim myself to be awesome.
Spencer continued to experiment with the magnetron until he boxed it in and marketed it as a new way to cook food. The initial version of the microwave was roughly six feet tall, weighed in around 750 pounds and had to be cooled with water. But they got it down to size, and today we use it mostly to destroy random objects on YouTube.

Krazy Glue and/or Super Glue
The story goes that in 1942, Dr. Harry Coover was working for Eastman Kodak, a company renowned for cameras and camera-related things. His job was to find a plastic that could be used as a clear gunsight, since this was smack in the middle of WWII and everybody knew where the money was.
Coover got frustrated because the material, called cyanoacrylate, was just too damned sticky. Rather than noticing he accidentally made one of the most versatile adhesives of all time, he threw it away in a huff and continued sweating over gunsights for a war that would be ended, ironically, by two bombs with blast radiuses so big that they didn't even require sights at all.
Aim optional.
Years later, Coover would re-discover his invention, we prefer to think due to him noticing that old container of cyanoacrylate was still stuck to the bottom of his trash can and couldn't be removed by any means.
In 1958, after finally convincing his bosses that at the very least, there was enormous comedic potential in the prospect of a man getting his hand permanently stuck to his junk; Kodak released the glue with the catchy name "Eastman 910."
Somebody then decided to actually pay the marketing guys to do something, and they decided the best way to convince people to buy this new product was to suspend a car over a public street with a crane, supposedly held up only with the ol' 910.
Reactions resulted in the product being coined "Krazy Glue"; a product so crazy that it requires intentional misspelling. The early slogan, "Remember, you can only use it once before it completely solidifies in the tube!" was quickly dropped and it remains a top-selling product to this day.

Vulcanized Rubber
You probably won't be shocked to find out that the inventor of tire rubber is Charles Goodyear, as he's the first guy on the list to actually get his name attached to the end product (since "Coover Glue" sounds like a gruesome form of birth control).
It wasn't easy coming up with a form of rubber tough enough to withstand the drag racing and car chases everyone envisioned the day the automobile was invented. In fact, if there was one man who should have given up his life dream, it was Goodyear. The man spent time in and out of prison, lost every friend he had and starved his children in his tireless pursuit of a stronger form of rubber.
"There's got to be a better way."
It was the 1830s, a period of time known for sucking. After his first two years of tinkering and failing with primitive rubber, Goodyear and his family were camping out in an abandoned factory and fishing for sustenance. This is when he made a huge breakthrough: He'd use acid to smooth out and toughen rubber! The government bought 150 mailbags made of the stuff and the rest is...
Oh, wait. They were all defective. The process didn't work and Goodyear was ruined. Again.
Finally in 1839, probably after being struck by lightning and/or being pissed on by a pack of stray dogs, Goodyear wandered into a general store with another failure of a formula. The crowd watched. Then they laughed at him. In a rage, he began to shake his fist, flinging a piece of his rubber onto the hot stove top.
After inspecting the charred remains, he realized that he had just found a way to make durable, weatherproof rubber. Despite what we're sure were numerous failed "now let's try setting this on fire to see if it improves it!" experiments, an empire was born.
#2.
Safety Glass
Safety glass is the glass that's used in cars and buildings and almost everywhere you look. The idea is that when it shatters, like when a bad guy goes through it back-first because you blasted him with a shotgun, it doesn't break into shards that can cut his skin on the way through. Frenchman, Edward Benedictus, was a jack-of-all-trades, er, Jaques-of-all-trades. Before stumbling across an incredible invention, Benedictus was already a classical quadruple threat. That is to say he was a painter, composer, writer and chemist.
One day, in a potentially Clouseau-like manner, Edward knocked a scientific flask off of a shelf and heard it crash to the ground (we like to imagine that he shouted "sacre bleu!" upon hearing the impact). When Benedictus climbed down from his ladder, he noticed that the flask was broken, but had not actually shattered.
After asking one of his aides about the incident, he found that the flask had recently contained cellulose nitrate, which acted as an adhesive and held the shattered pieces of glass together.
Artist's rendering of cellulose nitrate.
Though he knew he had something, Benedictus didn't really know what he had. Then inspiration struck in the form of a rash of horrifyingly gruesome car accidents. Benedictus noticed that the more horrific injuries from these crashes were due to flying shards of windshield.
Then he set to work until he eventually developed Triplex (not pronounced triple x). When we say eventually, we mean 24 hours later. After taking notice of the durability of his new invention in the gas masks of WWI, the automotive industry began making the Triplex windshield the standard, as angry, sledgehammer-wielding ex-girlfriends the world over can attest to.

Penicillin
As researchers go, Sir Alexander Fleming is one of the greats. But the man was a slob. Years before he became famous for discovering Penicillin, he accidentally conducted a study based around some snot of his that fell into a Petri dish.
Six years later, the good Mr. Phlegm-ing, as he was affectionately known, was once again working in the lab with a plastic dish filled with disease. The Doc (another nickname) left the lab for a weekend without cleaning the filthy dishes that were scattered around. If the scientific community is represented by the cast from Revenge of the Nerds (we know, huge stretch), then Fleming is "Booger"?
But in a lab coat.
Fleming returned to his abandoned experiment after his holiday to find that the dishes had sprouted mold. Fleming tossed the dish into a nearby trashcan. As per his custom, he continued to inspect his experiment after throwing it into a container filled with lab waste. Maybe he had decided to eat that sausage he had thrown away earlier.
While there he noticed that the mold had killed off the bacteria around it. This mold turned out to be the basic form of Penicillin, arguably the most important discovery in the field of medicine ever. All science needed was for a man to come along who was so filthy that he actually would discover a form of filth that could kill other filth. Millions of lives were saved.

5 Most Lame Conspiracy Theories in History
5 Most Lame Conspiracy Theories in History
AIDs Virus is Man Made
Dr. Strecker was first American scientist to put forward this theory; he claimed that AIDS virus is man-made, created by National Cancer Institute and the World Health Organization in their laboratories at Ft. Dietrick, Maryland in USA during 1970-74; Dr William Cooper claimed that this whole plan was supervised by CIA.
Lizard people run the world
This theory was put forward by BBC reporter David icke ; according to him world is controlled by blood-drinking, shape shifting reptilian humanoids from the Alpha Draconis star system.
David Icke says that many influential politicians like George Bush, Elizabeth II and many British royals belong to this group; David claims Lady Diana disclosed this fact to her close friends long time ago.
Moon landing was faked by NASA
Officially first Moon landing took place on July 20, 1969, when two astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz aldrin landed on Moon; but there are some experts who believe that this moon landing exercise was total drama; first argument they give is that US flag hoisted on moon by astronauts was fluttering which is not possible as everyone knows that there is no atmosphere on moon; they also say that shadows of the astronauts were different although they were standing close to each other.
Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories
John F Kennedy President was assassinated on 22 November,1963;conspiracy theorists believe that KGB organized the assassination of Kennedy to take revenge of humiliation of Cuban missile crisis; there is another theory which suggests that Kennedy was killed by Israelis who were really angry over his smpatheies with arabs and because he was not in favour of Isralei secret nuclear program.
Some analysts like Jim Marrs and Craig Roberts believe that he was murdered by bankers of Federal Reserve who were feeling threatened by Executive Order 11,110 issued by John F Kennedy; this executive order enabled the Treasury to print silver certificates, bypassing the Federal Reserve System.
Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen
Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen
Writers like Robert Stinnett and former United States Navy Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald, have argued that various parties high in the U.S. and British governments knew of the attack in advance and may even have let it happen or encouraged it in order to force America into World war II; according to a report US Government got as much 28 warning about possible Japanese attack but Government did nothing to save Americans from pearl harbor attack.
Top 5 Lies Men Speak to Women
I can fix anything
This is a very common lie a man speaks to a woman, Men usually love to think that they can fix everything and nothing is impossible for them, so they can do everything; Men speak this lie even if they have no clue of the actual problem, but their ego stops them to admit this fact.
I never lie to you
This is another lie which boys frequently speak to their girlfriends, there are several reasons for this lie, first they want to proof girls that they are Mister nice guy, second Guys say they don’t fib because they want girl to believe about their sincerity towards the girl.
You are looking awesome as always
Girls should realize this fact: they can’t look beautiful each and every time; they should keep this in mind, if their boyfriend is praising her every time they both meet ,this means he is lying with her and he is surely flirting.
I tried to call you but…
Girl asks his boyfriend: “Why you dint call me last night”, boy replies: “I called you but your mobile was not responding”; Boy’s reply is like this, because he fears of losing his girlfriend,so he always avoids to tell the truth that he forgot to call her, so he tries to cover up his mistake by telling a lie to his girl.
Nothing wrong,I am Ok
Women and men are completely different when it comes to what’s bothering them. Men like to look strong in front of their women. Again its something to do with their egos. If he says Nothing is wrong but you know hes lying just leave him alone. Men like to deal with their problems alone unlike women who have 10 girlfriends over for cake and coffee so they can all sort out their problems.
5 Hidden Facts About Hitler
Hitler and Homosexuality
Hitler always kept his private life very secret, but some people say that they know very much about his private life i.e. He was Homosexual, he had love affairs with lot of women such as his niece Geli Raubal and, of course, Eva Braun, Adolf Hitler’s homosexuality has been proven beyond question by German historian Lothar Machtan’s massively researched new book, The Hidden Hitler, which shows homosexuality’s central role in Hitler’s personal life.
Hitler and Porn
Hitler staff secretly made films for him of torture and execution of political prisoners, which he very much enjoyed viewing. His executive assistants also secured pornographic pictures and movies for him.
Hitler’s Handwriting
Hitler’s handwriting was impeccable. When famous psychologist Carl Jung saw Hitler’s handwriting in 1937, he remarked: “Behind this handwriting I recognize the typical characteristics of a man with essentially feminine instinct.”
After comparing different samples of Hitler’s Handwriting , physiologists found very interesting patterns,they can easily see emotional collapse in his later signatures.

Hitler and his Bitch
Hitler was very proud of his German Shepherd named Blondi. He spent countless hours training her, and would even interrupt meetings with generals to practice her tricks. The generals realized that if Blondi did well, Hitler was in a better mood, and more likely to take their advice. If she did poorly, he would become sullen and stubborn. One of the officers later said, “I sometimes had the impression that the outcome of the Russian campaign depended more on Blondi than the German general staff.
Hitler with great sense of humor
Everyone know Hitler as a furious and ruthless general, but not many people know he loved to crack jokes with his close associates whenever he had free time; Rochus Misch, who is now 90 years old and who served as telephonist in the Berlin bunker says ” Hitler, the mass killer, “had a small fund of jokes,“
Several instances of Hitler‘s humor ended up in a dossier called simply “The Hitler Book” which was compiled for Soviet leader Joseph Stalin at the end of WW2,It relates how Joseph Goebbels, the evil propaganda minister, told Hitler a latest scurrilous rumor: that the immensely vain Goering went to bed wearing medals on his pajamas.

Japan Spends US$125K on World’s Largest Restroom
Japan Spends US$125K on World’s Largest Restroom
Do you ever feel as if someone is watching you when you are using the toilet?
This might soon become a reality in Japan’s Ichihara City after they have finished constructing the biggest public restroom in the world, set on a plot of land measuring 200 square meters, and costing US$125,000.
They say that a 6.5-foot wall will shield women from prying eyes and that there is also a curtain they can use to further protect themselves while in the glass-encased toilet.
I am not sure if the fairer sex would feel any more secure when using this, though.
Surrounded by flowers and plants, the flowery fresh scent will be all that remains after you have used the toilet.
According to an official from the Tourism Promotion Department in Ichihara City, the extravagant toilet enclosure and its picturesque surroundings were created as a tourist attraction at next year’s Ichihara City Art Festival, a government-led initiative to “help improve the area through the renovation of public facilities with the help of arts.”
Men, however, will have to miss out on this one. The world’s largest restroom is for ladies only — or, so it seems, only one woman at a time.
World’s Stretchiest Skin
World’s Stretchiest Skin
On October 28, 1999, it was recorded that the world’s stretchiest skin belongs to a guy named Gary Turner: Garry Turner, of Caistor, Lincolnshire, England, stretched skin of his stomach to a distended length of 15.8 cm (6.25 in) on the set of Guinness World Records: Primetime in Los Angeles, California. After examining Gary’s medical condition it was discovered that he had a rare medical condition called Elhers Danlos Syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissues.
