You never know. Thomas Crapper invented the toilet we know today by making improvements to the exit plumbing.

@windinhishair Yes, but the higher ones were better. They were loftier, grander, more magnificent and more aesthetically pleasing. What part of that didn't they understand when they took the old ones away?

@NankerPhelge Who knows?

@windinhishair This is something that has been bugging me since I was about 12 and I still don't know why it happened.
Based on experience probably the first time man ran into animal who chased him. Native americans ran before white man brought the horse.

Not sure if your question was serious or sarcastic

No, he culturally appropriated that from the Neanderthals, who believed it to be sacred because it would save their lives whenever they would come across a giant predator.

So your thinking that before 1779 no one ever RAN?
Uh huuurrrr.
How did we get the MArathon, then, which commemorates ancient Greek message runners, RE: a battle in the 300s BC?

LOL. No, he invented it in 1612. 😂

Another factoid for your viewing pleasure:

@SW-User Thank you for the correction

@Saratzuke lol. I thought you were "running" with the joke. Were you asking a serious question? I just edited my response & posted another silly internet creation.

@SW-User He must have been a politician

I'm curious to see how many men you get to agree with that one
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
@Saratzuke ahhh the classic mans-plain

@MrGoodbar I think Teslar invented running but Mr Running stole his invention and all the credit
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
@Saratzuke ROLF 🤣

People must have done it before then. It would have had a different name.
Saratzuke · 26-30, F
@NankerPhelge I bet it was discovered by Teslar first but Running stole his invention

@Saratzuke I don't know, it wasn't something I learned in school.
SW-User
I thought Forrest Gump discovered running 🏃
Saratzuke · 26-30, F
@SW-User Yes apparently so but he wasn't the first to do so
SW-User
@Saratzuke I’m sure primates learned it and learned it well

I think it was invented by cavemen trying to keep from being eaten.
