your missus finally put the porn filter on your pc, huh. :D
good pics, that steamboat one look like a painting, maybe colorised?
That's probably what people said just after the heads were carved into it as well :D
I agree, the spicy curry pot noodle wasn't introduced until the 1990s.
(interesting link by the way :D)
The Wright Brothers' first flight was shorter than a jumbo jet's wingspan...
Pics or it didn't happen.
I thought the Wright Brother's flight was the first controlled flight. I'm sure I read somewhere that there had been others who had managed a small flight, but had no control over it. The Wright Brothers flight was actually controlled, so Gustave's flight claim may have been true.
apparently it needs to be fixed wing, controllable, and powered.
the argument usualy is, that all those thing had been achived seperatley.
the fact that they pretty much created a practical aircraft seals their name in history.
still though an honorable mention should go to the first man to get his end away while up in the air. :razz:
'In 1784, Britons George Biggin and Letisha Sage performed not only the first hydrogen balloon flight, but could also be argued to be the first members of the "Mile High Club" by having sex in their balloon. It was organised by an Italian called Lunardi who was meant to go with them, but he got out thinking the balloon would not support three people. He got out just as it took off in St. George's Fields, and as the balloon flew over Piccadilly people could see Sage on all-fours, although she tried to make excuses claiming she was not having sex. The balloon travelled 14 miles, landing in Harrow. The incident became a huge scandal, with people asking having sex in a balloon was possible at all. The wager books, which contain lists of all the bets made in London clubs, contained one bet which read: "Lord Cholmondeley has given two guineas to Lord Derby to receive 500 guineas whenever his lordship 'plays hospitals' with a woman in a balloon 1,000 yards from the Earth."
