Thor invented the wheel via his father Johnny Hart.
That was based on a comic, and comics are invented after wheels, with bicycles invented somewhere inbetween, etc. probably.

but the one I always remember  most is this one.  In those days  it was common to call someone a derogatory ' dipshit ', for whatever reason compelled some one to do so.
As someone literally dipped in shit this morning(due to slipping and falling in the bathroom, for whatever drugs I am on), it is actually not as bad as what one would think it would be.

Long stick with metal at the end. We would never have come so far without that basic combination.
