    On this day...

    110 years ago the Wright Brothers took flight under power.






    And then to show nature how badass we are...





    Seriously. Let that sink in. Look at the spans of time between innovations throughout history:

    3500 BC - The wheel
    3000 BC - Bronze
    500 BC - Cast iron
    500 BC - Crossbow
    300 BC - Water wheel
    100 BC - Arch bridge
    200 - Crankshaft
    500 - Horse collar
    600 - Pendentive dome
    900 - Gunpowder
    1189 - Mariner's compass
    1286 - Eyeglasses
    1439 - Printing press
    1712 - Steam engine
    1876 - Telephone
    1903 - Powered flight for 120 feet
    1969 - 828,743 miles to the moon and back (364,646,920 times further), leaving the planet and traveling through space, with two men walking on the surface of another celestial body


    We. Are. Fucking. Awesome.

    Only 10 years and 6 days later, the Federal Reserve was founded. Happy 100th, Fed - party at Denny's!!

    I want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.

    Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

    You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
