Polyester is younger than John McCain.
According to “whatispolyester.com” (yes, somebody actually bothered to register that domain name and build a whole website explaining the history and extolling the virtues of polyester… and people say that *I* have too much time on my hands!), scientists Whinfield and Dickson patented Polyethylene Terephthalate in 1941.
Or maybe it was scientists Polyethylene and Terephthalate who patented Whinfield and Dickson - I don’t know… I’m still dumbstruck by the existence of my new favorite website.
(Thanks to John W. who says “I’m a Republican and I find your site hilarious”. So we got one - only a hundred million or so to go.)
Great photo. Love your site. You should put this stuff in a book.

How did we end up with a Democrat vs. Democrat election?

FUNNY! i feel sorry for McCain everyone keeps picking on him
I’m not saying he deserves to be President i’m just saying people in the mainstream media should stop being so hard on GrandDaddy Cain he seems like a nice guy… he reminds me of some folks at my grandma’s nursing home… But hey buddy keep up the good work with this site! I will laugh in private at all the things younger than John McCain
