And who was the first person who looked at a beehive and thought, "Those little buggers are hiding something delicious in there, I knows it."

Park Rangers are to be avoided...

I think most things were achieved by accident lol...

I keep coming back to this one. A lot of the food things have probably been discovered by accident many moons ago.....why the hell did this guy jump off the tower FFS? They had a video camera, they weren't in the age of the caveman. Could they not fashion a man sized and weighted item to test the parachute with?

According to wiki

Quote:

Initial experiments conducted with dummies dropped from the fifth floor of his apartment building had been successful, but he was unable to replicate those early successes with any of his subsequent designs.

So he got it right, then kept getting it wrong and decided to test one of the wrong ones?! Apparently he had a heart attack before he even hit the ground, not that he'd have likely survived that drop.
