Mary Anderson invented the windscreen wiper. Anderson was issued a patent for the wipers in 1905.

This is true, although her actual idea, was to use it on the rear-view mirror, to assist with clear lippy application.

A man later modified the idea, to use them on the actual windscreen.

Women should be put in charge of the major Wold powers dn many companies around the World for a year. You can GUARANTEE the World will be a better place 12 months later.

If Women had been in charge we would not have had the World Wars and we would not have had the worst World recession and credit crunch of all time.

They tend to be more compassionate and cautious than their male counterparts. the only downsize is that Women just cannot seem to get on with each other espeically in a competative and powerful environment. They can be very Catty. Its an unattractive trait.

Don't think there are that many, I could only think of one. The reason they don't invent stuff is because they don't have sheds.
If they did they would only want a man to paint it pink, and use the space for storing shoes.

Marie Curie?

Oh yeah, polonium, and the terrible deaths that caused in her lifetime as no-one realised it was dangerous. They made drinks of the stuff, painted ornaments in it because of it's "glowing" properties.

D'oh!

Er, to my knowledge Hitler was not a Woman :wozza:. My point seems to have gone completely over your head. Never mind.
