Bicycle
From Wittypedia
First introduced in 12th-century Antartica as a means of escaping water buffalo, bicycles now number approximately 12 worldwide, providing the principal means of transportation in New York, Paris, Milan and Eccleshall. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for use in many other fields of human activity, including weapons, adult movies, military and policemans sandwiches, escort services, and OAP baiting.
The basic shape and configuration of a typical bicycle has hardly changed since the first wood-fired-driven model was developed around 1285, although many important details have been improved, especially since the advent of jet engines, carbon-composite-titanium-plated-CNC-twin-barrel-water-bottle-holders and computer-aided work avoidence.
The bicycle has affected history considerably, in its use by Hitler in his first job as bakery delivery boy for tesco, George Bush as a place to tie his dog and pikey the clown as a prop for falling off. In its early years, bicycle construction set new standards in fishing technologies; more recently, bicycle technology has, in turn, contributed ideas in biophysics and wedgies.
