Tay my blet awaaaaaaaaaaay...."





Shamelessly nicked from another poster on PPRuNe.

Kind of like the iranian missile photos.

Anyone want to place bets as to when the Chinese will come up with something original ?:rolleyes:

They did. Gunpowder. It caused so much mischief that they swore off "original". :)

"And then there was Iran. Insane leader, just as insane as Saddam, completely nuts only they actually have access to nuclear materials that they are beginning to convert into some sort of a bomb that they eventually will put into a missile, and 500 iranians will throw it at us."

Paper !!!

Paper was invented in China, not in ancient Egypt or elsewhere. This distinction rests on the definition of the word "paper." Paper is a sheet product of separating fibers in filaments.

Chinese Origins
1. Many sources and encyclopedias report that Tsai Lun, a Han Dynasty eunuch, invented paper around AD 105. Archeological expeditions, however, have uncovered paper scraps a few centuries older, in China's Gansu province. However, while not the inventor of paper, Tsai Lun still played a crucial role in developing the material. Hemp fibers comprise most examples of classical Chinese paper.
Global Spread
2. From China, the concept of paper spread into Japan and Korea. It also traveled through the Gobi Desert, through the caravan trials, where it ultimately ended up in Asia Minor and the Middle East. Macro Polo, in his travels and subsequent writings, was likely the first Western European to come into contact with paper.
Misnomers
3. While the Chinese invented paper, it was hardly the first substance to be written on. History shows the use of rice paper, as well as papyrus, for use as "paper." However, the manufacturing techniques used to make both disqualify them as "paper." In Western Europe, there have been recorded uses of vellum and parchment, but again, both are products of tanning animal skins.
