So at some point did the guy with the whitest teeth think to himself, "I could make a fortune selling this stuff!"? There was the marketing flaw, surely.

Anyone? This is true! The ammonia found in urine acts as a bleaching agent because of the acidic content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, but surely not all urine has exactly the same chemical composition? That's why I said 'the guy with the whitest teeth'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted April 3, 2018 #1080 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Elton Musk, leader of the well known Californian cult Tesla, Inc., tweeted an April Fools' tweet that Tesla, Inc., was declaring bankruptcy, sending the Money Markets, no doubt, into turmoil. This was of course a joke, but it is somewhat ironic in view of the fact that Tesla, Inc., has in fact never come anywhere remotely near making a profit, and in fact in the last four years it has lost 9 Billion dollars. This doesn't matter, of course, to world-reshaping geniuses like Elton Musk, since they simply ignore it and add it onto the debt they've already accumulated. America's President Donald Trump has surprisingly not invited Elton Musk to join his Top Team as Treasury Secretary or anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Monk Posted April 8, 2018 #1088 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) The first computer for business use was the LEO 1, which went operational in 1951. LEO (Lyons Electronic Office) I was developed by British catering and food manufacturing company J. Lyons and Co. It contained 6,000 valves and was used to add up the receipts of iced buns. The LEO series of computers operated until 1981. Edited April 8, 2018 by Black Monk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Monk Posted April 15, 2018 #1097 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The oldest known condoms in the world were found in 1985 in a medieval toilet in Dudley Castle in the West Midlands. They were probably dropped in the toilet sometime before 1646, when the castle was surrendered to the Parliamentarians during the English Civil War. They are made of animal and fish intestines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
