candyprpl Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Wow -- okay maybe I don't get the significance of this invention. I read the article -- but it's really more important than some of the others? Please inform me if my ignorance is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new source of low cost production for a human food source whose continual consumption does not decrease the source itself. It forestalls the conservative Miracle of Malthus and makes life safer for Flipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemidakota Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The Tank-Bred Tuna - The 50 Best Inventions of 2009 - TIMEI wonder if Times is related to the New York Post. Research on many of the claimed inventions for 2009 did not occur in 2009. A classic example is the teleportation. It is an IBM Fellowship program done at IBM Japan in the latter nineties. Though, I do not read this rag sheet [magazine] or have a subscription, a thorough research by the editors in providing 2009 inventions vice patents that had occurred in the past. Perhaps, it is more of a deception in gaining readership from the title than providing truism in the content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyando Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Land Speed RecordIn August 2009, the British Steam Car, driven by Charles Burnett III, smashed a record that had stood for a century: the land-speed record for a steam-powered car. Burnett drove his vehicle on a track at Edwards Air Force Base at an average of 139.843 mph, breaking a record set in 1906 by Fred Marriott, who drove his Stanley Steamer Rocket at 127.659 mph.
