	Philosopher's Invention Index
	Submitted By J S (mediumofmeaning)

Description

150 facts from the website http://inventionindex.com. They really aren't that good, but, what can you do? It'll probably have more updates soon, as we work on the site pretty commonly. A slight knowledge of philsophy makes them more humorous, sometimes. Other times, they are completely random, or just not funny. Set off on %_invention

Some examples:

Hegel invented the toaster.
In 1822, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe mistakenly invented the iPod while trying to conclude his epic FAUST.
In a botched attempt to destroy the concept of human autonomy, Hobbes invented the 12 inch subwoofer.
Gramsci invented the number 7.

Changes

Now 190 Inventions, Changed command to %_inventions. Hopefully it works.

should have a new version up in a day, whenever i add the new facts to the script (such as: "After an eight month gestation period, Natalia Sedova Trotsky gave birth to (thus inventing) subject-verb agreement. The Trotskys later conceived the periphrastic clause, but had it aborted soon after its third trimester.").

keep posted.
