Hello @galenkp,
Did you forget to tell them the other part of the story? Don't be so modest! Or do you plan to save it for another occasion? Tell them that before inventing fire to cook the poor tiger, by the way, those tusks were long and sharp, you invented the throwing spear with which you killed the animal. You gave up the rights by obligation, the latest innovation back then, the tip was very sharp Obsidian, a pity the patent office had not yet invented.
Thanks for this great initiative.
You're right you know...I forgot to tell the full story.
I did indeed invent the spear but I decided not to patent that as I had not invented the patent. I did that many years later when I also invented the building, computers and office staff to work in the patent office. I was a busy caveman.
You can say that again, my friend. Now in the 21st century, you could file a complaint and claim authorship at the patent office. If they don't believe you, you invite them to take a trip in that time machine full of books and weapons that you keep in the garage.
I knew my time machine would come in handy for something! Proving how I virtually invented everything! Lol.
Don't say it too hard. They could also blame you for the bad in the world. Better leave it here, in ignorance.
