THIS POST IS NOT A JOKE. You're so pathetic, asking forumers for homework help, that took pity on you. But i'm tired, so I'm sorry if this sounds stupid.

* Eugene Sullivan and William Taylor co-invented Pyrex in New York City.
* Short-wave radio invented.
* The birth of the Teddy Bear.

By designing a radio made of pyrex or anoher hard-to-break material, and filling most of the empty space with a non-conductive fluffy material, you could design a radio that resists breaking when dropped (already invented, i know).

or...

* Charles Parson patents the steam turbine.
* Joseph Glidden invents barbed wire.
* Robert Mushet invents tungsten steel.

By using a steam turbine hooked up to a rotating set of barbed wire (made of tungsten steel) you could make a very efficient shredder that uses very little power.

Best I can do. Good luck.

Something cheap you could do is something I designed this year; a watch that opens up like those compass watch things but instead of a compass, it's an air-tight spare contact lens case. I dunno when contact lenses were invented so there may have to be some research into that.

A toothbrush with a built in toothpaste tube that fits in like a cartridge. The toothpaste comes out small holes where the roots of the bristles are attached. Actually nevermind that's retarded. It wouldn't even be able to fit in your mouth.

Why don't you take a look at this?

Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain from posting.

I had to do that so I invented a two-sided doobie:

light it up on both sides and smoke through a hole in the middle.

I shit you not 88% is my mark.
