Human ingenuity or, my delusions at two in the morning.

Algo que me han dicho toda la vida es que ninguna idea es estúpida, es realmente estúpido quien la desperdicia. De hecho, muchos inventos se crearon por error, como la penicilina o el microondas, o algunos otros empezaron como algo, pero luego descubrieron que podían usarse para otra cosa, como la Coke, que empezó como una medicina y se convirtió en la deliciosa bebida carbonatada que nos hace daño pero que no puede faltar en una fiesta.
