Double Fine invented the modern airplane, RADAR, jet engines, submarines the games of tennis and chess, the question mark and oral sex on women.

It was a commercial flop and white elephant , even though it was an admirable aircraft.

The Brits invented the "magnetron" ... a key component in almost all (practical) RADAR systems since WW2. I replaced one yesterday. It differed from the original design only in size and materials. EEV (English Electronic Valve) is still in business and still making "maggies".

Yes dozens of people flew planes before the Wright Brothers, hence they did not INVENT the aeroplane. There is of course a major difference between building something (even with modification) and inventing something. I am not decrying the Wright Brothers achievement I am concerned with the claim to invention

“We will again show the world how to fly”- Ahh so you are going to INVENT the aeroplane again? Honey, the Wright brothers put back US aviation development by years.

“VTO”- That of course did not stop the US airforce and Navy using the Harrier. And I believe still using them after production in the UK has ceased

No denying that that the US military has produced some wonderful technology, that however does not mean that the Wright brothers invented the aeroplane

Hey peeps. Can anyone here help me with a debate I am having in the office.

"Killer" and "Murderer" can sometimes be used as synonyms (e.g. the man's killer/murderer was his wife - both words work)... But they are not always the same thing, am I right?

Murder is unlawful killing of a human by a human. So if there are "lawful" killings, then it means that in some cases a killer and a murderer would not be the same thing?

As far as I understand murderer applies to one who premeditatedly kills a fellow human being

A killer does not necessarily premeditate and nor does it have to be human as either the killer or victim, one can kill for food

So a murderer is always a killer but a killer is not always a murderer

Frank Whittle registered the patent in 1930 and had the first successful bench test April 1937. Hans von Ohain’s design first ran in September 1937. However Ohain’s engine was the first to fly in 1939. They are jointly accredited with inventing the Jet engine.

Christian Huelsmeyer was the first to discover the effect of radar in 1904, but radar was invented by three British scientists, Sir Robert Watson-Watt, A F Wilkins and H E Wimperis in 1935. Sir Henry Tizard put it to use in the War

Commercial flop? 27 years flying? Forget the US media hype. The ongoing benefits of Anglo French co-operation that started with Concorde are immeasurable and far outweigh the development costs. Certainly the BA Concorde’s were operationally profitable. http://www.concordesst.com/retire/faq_r.html

French = 12th century
The Origins of Tennis - History of Tennis

"The History of tennis game was developed from a 12th century French handball game called "Paume" (palm). In this game the ball was struck with the hand. After some time "Paume" game produced handball "Jeu de Paume" (game of the palm) and there were used racquets. The game was first created by European monks for entertainment roles during ceremonial occasions. At first, the ball was hit with hands. Later, the leather glove came into existence. This leather glove was replaced with an adaptive handle for effective hitting and serving of the ball. That was a birth of tennis racquet."

How'd that bench fly, Skanque?

PS:'The first patent for using a gas turbine to power an aircraft was filed in 1921 by Frenchman Maxime Guillaume.'

Yes, I admit that the UK is a monarchy and has been a monarchy for the last thousand years or so.

When asked: Is the UK a monarchy, yes or no?

I admit saying "yes"....

I confess, Booby...
