I wouldn't say women invented the bulletproof vest. The Kevlar inside bulletproof vests was invented in 1965 by former DuPont chemist Stephanie Kwolek of Wilmington, Del. and her group of scientists. She tried to take credit for it all by herself, but the fact that she was employed by DuPont for the last ten years to discover *something* sort of killed that boasting effort off.
As for the laser printer, Many people wrongly believe that Hewlett-Packard invented the laser printer. In fact, President George Bush visited the HP printer division in Boise, Idaho in 1990 and gave a speech in which he congratulated HP engineers for inventing the laser printer. Really, it was the geniuses at Canon. HP has used Canon engines for all of its laser printer models except for one very early and unsuccessful model, the 2685A, that used a Ricoh engine. The first working laser printer to ever show up, though, was in 1986. It was the 4045, 120-pound bomb that dealers couldn't move without a fork lift.
Bottom line is that Canon/HP invented the first laser printer, and a woman hasn't so much as tried to take credit for it. Personally, if i was going to pinpoint someone, it would be Bob Metcalfe, the inventor of ethernet. He gave a lot of time and effort into the invention of the laser printer.
As for the fire escape, it was invented by Joseph Winters. He invented this fire escape in 1878 when cities were beginning to "grow up" instead of "growing out."
As for the windshield wiper, Mary Anderson invented it. Then, Charlotte Bridgwood invented the first automatic windshield wiper. Score one!
Also, Dr. Papanicolaou invented the Pap test in 1945, before Trichomonas, Candida, or Gardnerella were even well known. Well, maybe Gardnerella. Bacteria is gross.
I agree whole-heartedly. Hence why Adbusters is based out of Vancouver. It's so easy for us to pick apart other goverments because we're detached from it. If you go down to the states it's a whole other vibe, I think our opinions would have some change if we were in the heart of it all. I don't know, I think Gordon Campbell is pretty fucked up but in the drunk uncle with the lampshade on his head at christmas type of way.

George Bush can such my balls. But not if he has candida.

It's more exciting, though. Nobody in Canada is *that* fucked up.
