Who Invented WD40?

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

What is interesting is that WD-40 original formulation is NOT available in California.

California, the home of WD-40, is the only place in the world that does not allow the original formula to be sold, because CA requires less than 25% volatile compounds, so they have an altered formula for CA. If we want all the full good properties of WD-40 we have to buy it outside CA.

CA never fails to aggravate me!

its amazing the inventions that we use that started off as needs for the military and government.
like toys as in original Slinky?
engineer Richard James who invented the slinky
Mechanical engineer Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. In 1943, he was working to devise springs that could keep sensitive ship equipment steady at sea. After accidentally knocking some samples off a shelf, he watched in amazement as they gracefully “walked” down instead of falling.
