Did you know that Joseph Glidden was responsible for the invention of Tanks?

[KillerMuffin]

Yes, he was. He lived in like 1860something and needed a fence. So he designed a nice, cheap, easily made, cow keeper outer fence.

They built the tank to get past his fence. Only it was like 50 years later and somewhere in France.

I got tired of being me, so I decided to be one of the Nominees for the Sexiest Male Author of 2000.

I would be you,

But, I wouldn't do the camoflage bra any justice.

And all along I thought it was Churchill's project.

Camo bras? if you've got matching panties YOU CAN tie me to the roll bar.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I gotta wear something to look good with the combat boots.

 

[Expertise]

And all along, I thought Glidden did paint.

Glidden invented barbed wire in the late 1800s to fence in cows because the range was no longer mostly free range, it was owned and farmers/cattlemen were having troubles with each other and the cows who didn't give a fig for property lines.

In WWI the Germans entrenched themselves intelligently enough, and stuck barbed wire fences everywhere. The calvary was suddenly and instantly rendered ineffective. A vehicle of some sort had to be created to move through the barbed wire and fight as effectively as a calvary unit. Churchill came up with the idea, but it was Joseph Glidden's barbed wire fence that made it necessary.
