Slinky
When he was 26, Richard James of Philadelphia invented the Slinky. It consists of 87 feet of flat wire coiled into 3-inch-diameter circles and stands about 2 inches high when stacked. The Slinky's ability to "walk" down stairs and open and close like an accordion made it a favorite toy during the 1950s, and it is still popular today.

I just wonder sometimes, does KR's brain almost explode with all this wealth of info inside it, damn that KRL must be a hell of a women to have to deal with him on a daily basis, hehe.

I think most everyone could only keep a slinky in it's coiled state for no more than a week. After that, it ended up being a big wirey knot.

They make 'em in plastic now for promo purposes for companies. The Munster gets a lot of them due to his work. (We also had one of those super bouncy balls from ENRON that made all kinds of electonic noises when you bounced it. - that was a good promo toy) I've gotten quite skilled at undoing those knots. Now where would that go on a resume?
