Research

Items i will be researching this evening*:


Prospecting. We watched There Will Be Blood today and i require more background.

Toilet Paper. SOMEONE had to say 'maybe we can use something besides leaves' and someone else, much later, i'm guessing, suggested the genius notion of lots of teeny tiny pieces of paper, perforated, on a roll. Maybe it was Mr. Whipple?

Perforation. Which also had to be invented. How'd that happen...?

Mustaches. For a very long time, people just grew their hair until it fell off. I believe, due to something related to Alexander the Great, they decided long hair was a liability in battle. Did cutting hair and shaving happen simultaneously?

*A majority of my 'research' is done on Wikipedia, which i do know should not be relied upon if accuracy is of utmost concern. If cocktail party and blog fodder are the ultimate goal, however, Wikipedia has proven to be an excellent source.
