Today's inventor Lonnie George Johnson created something that while it hasn't changed the world, it changed a lot of lives. Mostly for the better if you were on the giving end of his invention. Born in Mobile, Alabama in 1949 he realized that he was destined for great things. In college he got a B.S in mechanical Engineering and a M.S in Nuclear Engineering from Tuskegee University. And then he said fuck all that and created this!

| Yeah!!! |
That's right! The Super Soaker. In 1989
he created this and licensed it to Larami Corporation and within two
years it made over $200 million which was then bought by Hasbro. He
took all the money he made from this and put it into two of his
separate companies that do things, like, oh I don't know, creating
all kinds of new energy science shit! He is making new ways to use
his Johnson Thermo Electrochemical Convertor System for work with
solar and thermal power uses.
What does that even mean? Something to
do with converting thermal energy to electrical energy by a process
that uses steam-less processes that in turn push hydrogen ions
through two membranes. What does that mean? I don't know! Let's talk
about Super Soakers!

| Neeeeeeeeeeeeeerd! |
He's not done since he has well over
eighty patents and is waiting for twenty more to be approved and one
of them is hopefully a brand new water gun for me to wet people down
like a pack of wild dogs boning in the street. I live in West
Hollywood. This is a real threat. I remember years ago when me and my
friends wet this mean, fat chick so bad that the teacher took our
Super Soakers away...for five minutes. After that it was on! Thank
Mr. Johnson for not only doing a bunch of science related shit I can
barely write about let alone understand, but for also creating one of
the best toys to ever exist.
