The World's Largest Computer in 1951

Nope. The invention has nothing to do with chickens.

The automatic colonel plucker?

 

[JamesU]

We need a snorting smiley.

and the invention was obviously chicken wire

 

[Danger]

I didn't know that chickens need to be plugged in.

 

[JamesU]

They do when they have their incubators on

 

[JamesU]

Danger, you get the next one

 

[brewnog]

No no no.

Guess mine first, you lazy bizitches.

 

[JamesU]

who was the person that invented...oh, brrewnog's here.

Ha, no such luck.

Since neither of you have the capacity to understand my subtle, clever clues, I'll give you the boring one instead. The invention was a new type of transport. It has nothing to do with chickens, turkeys, plucking machines, Colonels, kernels, Sergeant Majors, Wing Commanders or Flight Lieutenants.

 

[brewnog]

the chicken or egg qustion.

I give up! And I'm not even guessing!

Didn't help any, but it was amusing. I can't think of any kind of transport that was invented around that time with the possible exception of the hyrdofoil or hovercraft, and I think they're both a lot older than that.

Give me an hour first, then give us the boring one.

...The hovercraft was invented by Christopher Cockerell in 1956... Christopher Sydney Cockerell was born in 1910. He worked for the Radio Research Company until 1935 and then for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company from 1935 until 1951. During the war years, Christopher Cockerell worked with an elite team at Marconi to develop radar, a development which Churchill believed had a significant effect on the outcome of the Second World War, and Cockerell believed to be one of his greatest achievements. While at Marconi, Christopher Cockerell patented 36 of his ideas. Christopher Cockerell was knighted for his achievement in 1969...

Amazing! Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.

Or more likely, even when I'm right, I'm wrong.

 

[JamesU]

I bet you wish you could make smiles smaller huh?

 

[Danger]

That's been irritating the hell out of me for quite some time now, yes.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

So is Danger up?

 

[JamesU]

You'll just have to do what BT does and draw them yourself. that's a pretty low-level, BT

 

[Danger]

So is Danger up?

I didn't get it, you did.

You'll just have to do what BT does and draw them yourself.

I drew some up in Illustrator and put them in ImageShack, but when I tried them in preview mode they looked like blobs.

The Racetrack upon which these move tells a tale, thus the mystery.

Comets?...

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Not comets.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Binary stars?

 

[Danger]

Hadrons? (10)

 

[Ivan Seeking]

No, and I'm not quite sure what inspires that thought...

I would suggest the 23rd Psalm

 

[Ivan Seeking]

My last post was in response to Zooby, but no, not Hadrons

 

[Danger]

No, and I'm not quite sure what inspires that thought...

If that's in reference to my guess, I was thinking of a cyclotron.

Not me, dude! I won't look something up in the encyclopedia for this; I'm sure as hell not going into the Bible (as if I even have one ).

 

[Danger]

'Read' heads?

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

For I am the meanest son-of-a-***** in the valley.
I have that poster. In fact, I'm going to have it painted on the trunk of the Roadrunner whenever I get it restored.

I'm drawing a blank.
