can opener - created by Glam0urGirl2007
this was an important invention. without it, we would not have been able to step up in opening our cans. they didnt have pop tops on cans like they do now, and they didnt have the electric can openers.
The first practical can opener was developed 50 years after the birth of the metal can. Canned food was invented for the British Navy in 1813. Made of solid iron, the cans usually weighed more than the food they held! The inventor, Peter Durand, was guilty of an incredible oversight. Though he figured out how to seal food into cans, he gave little thought to how to get it out again. Instructions read: "Cut round the top near the outer edge with a chisel and hammer." Only when thinner steel cans came into use in the 1860s could the can opener be invented. The first (patented in 1858), devised by Ezra Warner of Waterbury, Connecticut, looked like a bent bayonet. Its large curved blade was driven into a can’s rim, then forcibly worked around its edge. Stranger yet, this first type of can opener never left the grocery store. A clerk had to open each can before it was taken away!

TwilightMuse says:
No way! It seems like everytime we get a new one it breaks. I have an electric can opener that looks like its from the 80s and it still works. Metal ones never last that long anymore.
NIce shot though
author says:

The removal of the numberplates is allowed in this case with an eye on privacy of the car owners.
