He Saw a Broken System, Built the Fix, and Helped 325,000 People Keep the Animals They Rely On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chris Picou didn’t set out to disrupt anything. He set out to find a legitimate ESA letter — and couldn’t. What he built instead became one of America’s fastest-growing companies. Most businesses that address a real gap do so because the founder lived the problem first. For Chris Picou, the CEO of American Service Pets, that moment came in 2017, when a search for legitimate ESA documentation returned nothing useful — just a landscape of fraudulent websites and hollow certifications. Picou had re
Why Were Graham Crackers Invented? The Real Sylvester Graham Story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Graham crackers descend from a diet promoted by Sylvester Graham (1794–1851), a Presbyterian minister who from around 1829 preached that bland, unsifted whole-wheat food suppressed sexual appetite — masturbation above all, which he called self-pollution and believed caused insanity and blindness. That much is true. What most accounts leave out is that the cracker sold under his name was created by the National Biscuit Company in 1898, forty-seven years after Graham died, and inverts nearly every
Why Was the Chainsaw Invented? The Surgical Tool It Came From (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first chain saw was a surgical instrument. In the 1780s, Scottish physicians John Aitken and James Jeffray built a flexible saw — a fine serrated chain with a handle at each end — to cut through the pelvis during symphysiotomy, a procedure used when a baby could not pass through the birth canal. The timber chainsaw descends from that instrument, but through a longer and messier chain of hands than the internet version suggests. When a baby was too large for the mother’s pelvis, obstructed la
Why Was Air Conditioning Invented? To Stop Paper From Swelling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Modern air conditioning was designed in July 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier, a 25-year-old engineer at the Buffalo Forge Company, to solve a printing problem. Humidity at the Sackett & Wilhelms plant in Brooklyn was making paper swell and shrink between passes, throwing multicolour ink out of register. Human comfort was not the goal, and it would be two decades before it became the point. Colour lithography in 1902 meant running a sheet through the press once per colour, and each pass had to la
When Was the Telescope Invented? The 1608 Patent That Was Denied (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The earliest firm record of a telescope is a patent application filed with the States General of the Netherlands on 2 October 1608 by Hans Lippershey, a spectacle maker in Middelburg. He asked for exclusive rights to an instrument “for seeing things far away as if they were nearby.” The application was refused, and Galileo, who did not invent the telescope, built a better version the following year after hearing this one described. The device he brought to The Hague was modest: a convex objectiv
