Flashes: March 12, 2014...Thank the Irish

Sure, we designed the Titanic (which I still claim was a business/value engineering failure and not a design failure), but we also codified modern chemistry and saved the world by recording the history of Greece and Rome.  In the last couple of centuries, here are some notable inventions:

The incubator for premature babies

Color photography

The monorail & helicopter 

Tractors

Hypodermic needles

You're welcome, world...
Enjoy the journey!
