How the hell does somebody INVENT the fire escape. Its just a second DOOR.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

No. it has'nt gone over my head, its just a silly point.

A very important point and you obviously didn't get it in that if a woman had been in charge in the mid 30's to 40's the 2nd world war and extinction of 6 500 000 Jews almost certainly would not have happened.

I quite agree. The prospect of a world without chocolate chip cookies,tippex and scotchguard is too horrible to countenance.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

All very important in their own right.

Try again.

Women should be put in charge of the major World powers and major 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 downside is that Women just cannot seem to get on with each other especially in a competative and powerful environment. They can be very Catty. Its an unattractive trait.

I say again..its a silly point. If women had been in charge of Germany, and the rest of the Axis and Allied powers, we would have gone to war over what Eva Braun said about Eleanor Roosevelts hat..granted the war would have consisted of "don't talk to her the bitch" and slamming doors in the Reichstag but it would still a have been mighty uncomfortable for the men I can tell you.

We'd have all have to have said "Sod you woman..I'm going to the Pub" or sat in the shed from 1939-45.

I would not have a clue how to do it. I can't even post pictures yet. It took me 6 months to work out how to personalise my avatar with a photo.

Lets move on.

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!

The question was what have they invented, not how much damage have they caused. (Ten pages, huge binfest.)
There was a man involved with Polonium, hers was more Radium, ever had an Xray?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Lets move on.

Beats me why you are so keen on Women Uncle..after the way you've been treated Im surprised you have'nt gone gay.

Fair enough

She did'nt invent Radium she just figured out a use for it and killed herself in the process.

It's like me "inventing" latex by collecting some rubber tree sap and then drowning in it.

Who says I haven't ?.
