No, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Packard has actually presented the generally accepted origin of the potato chip. (You have no idea what a painful concession this is.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the part where the man opens his own business. What I don't know is whether he earned the money to do so from his creation or he just used his saved wages from working in a kitchen.

Maybe I’m missing the point but leave it up to grues so that we as a 250 year old nations of Dutch, English, Irish and German settlers can illuminate, culminate, alleviate the bonds of oppression from within, as it’s hard to imagine a Paleolithic culture coming into power right when the world turned into a industrialized planet. Does anyone know how hard it would be just to make a garden hoe? You can’t go to The smithy and order up a racetrack when parts of the succeeding half of the nation are crafting mechanical computers, steam cars, cameras, rim fire rifles and slide projectors.
