Hey everyone! Can you believe we've all been sitting on our asses while the greatest invention of the last 500 years was discovered over forty years ago?? That's right -- I just found this ad in yet another early 1970s Iron Man issue (#49 from 1972, specifically):
Can you imagine that? For a crummy quarter and a dime, an ANTI-GRAVITY DEVICE can be yours!!
What's not generally known is that Tony Stark (Iron Man's alter-ego) created the thing! That's right -- and then he proved what a lousy capitalist he is by offering it to the public at large ... for a crummy 35 cents!
Sheesh.
Good one Hube- send this to Instapundit. I bet he will like it - he is a gadget guy.

Posted by: Hube at January 20, 2008 09:06 AMWell with inflation, that 35 cents is now $55 thousand. It's Bush's fault!
