Jethro Tull Invents the Seed Drill
Jethro Tull was this farmer guy who invented the seed drill, because he wanted to make the world a better place. John Lennon also wanted to make the world a better place, but he is not involved in this story. His seed drill (Jethro Tull, not John Lennon. I don't believe John Lennon ever made a seed drill. But I'm not sure) was more efficent than the old way of planting seeds and resulted in more sprouts. Jethro Tull is also the name of a 70s rock band. Their lead singer is a floutist. -
John Kay invents the flying shuttle
Jeez, everyone in the olden days was named John. The flying shuttle made weaving faster. Yay flying shuttle. -
James Watt builds the first steam engine (scroll down all the way)(and then see last events after reading this)
The steam engine was a nifty invention which worked because people heated up water into steam, which spun a wheel which made little pistony-thingies pump up and down. It was also called the Boulton-Watt. Like Troy Bolton! Did you see that movie? It was really bad. If you don't want to watch it, I'll tell you the ending. Ok, so Gabriella ends up going to Stanford, but she doesn't go to prom because she's a freak. Then Troy, being the crazy stalker that he is, drives all the way to California, and -
Marx and Engel publish The Communist Manifesto
Engel's daddy owned a factory, and all the workers were treated bad which made Engel sad, so him and his buddy Karl Marx wrote a bunch of papers saying how everyone should help eachother like socialists except super duper extreme. There was also a comedian named Groucho Marx who said something about elephants and pajamas which was apparently funny. His name sounds like a muppet (according to me). -
US civil war ends; US experiences technological boom
Yay!! War is bad. : ( Peace is good. : ) I could say something again about John Lennon, but I don't think I want to mention him twice in one timeline. Well, this one's kinda self explanitory. Not a lot to be said about it.... -
Germany becomes dominant industrial power in Europe
Yay for Germany. This one's boring. On to the next one. -
British Unions win right to strike
That's good. This unit's boring. I think I'll talk about John Lennon. John Lennon was a beatle who had long hair and cool circley glasses. He liked peace and was married (?) to Yoko Ono. Were they ever married? Oh well. They had a song called the ballad of John and Yoko. Too true. He was also a walrus. Then some meanie shot him and everyone was sad. Oh, I forgot to mention he was british. That means he said stuff like rubbish and knickers. That's cool. -
(continued from "James Watt") The epic HSM3 arrives to the big screen (scroll down) (Aggh!! I ran out of space again!! See next one after)
jumps out of a tree and starts dancing with her!!! They also are doing this play for school and the evil British girl ends up trying to steal the main part, but she doesn't, because they all get together and use their teamwork skills to not let her. At least I think that's what happens. I don't quite remember. But that would be a good moral. Anyways, crazy Zac Efron ends up going to Cal because he cannot stand to be away from his one true love, and everyone gets together and sings the High -
(continued from Jan 9, 2000 entry) Whooh, High School Musical
School Musical song which doesn't actually make sense, they just needed a song with the words High School Musical in them. And then they all jump. Yay... And then they do these really awkward head shots of all the actors, and they're all,like, laughing at nothing. I think you were supposed to clap, but no one in my theater did. Yay! THE END
