DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!

To err is human

To learn from your mistakes…

Is divine…

Actually learning from mistakes is just what learning is…

And learning from the past mistakes of others…

Along with how others got it right…

Is only as good as the information they left behind.

The first time two rocks were banged together that produced a spark…

The world did not change in any significant way.

Not until the person who discovered this interesting effect showed it to others did this knowledge begin to spread.

At first, it may have been little more than a cave parlor trick.

Something to amuse ones peers with.

Then, one dry summers eve…

As the crowd oohed and aahed…

An errant spark caught in a whimsical wind swirled its way into a pile of flammable tinder…

And fire was invented…

If enough of the cave party survived the fire that is…

If not, then perhaps the discovery took a bit longer…

Thankfully we have found a collection of primitive parlor tricks gone awry where the parties survived to publish the tale.

On This Week in Science,

Coming Up Next…
