The invention is remarkable - but I imagine it was serendipity. Some otter way back must have come up with the rock trick as well. How then would you define the diff between us and them?

But you do invent, every day, with your imagination.

NEW CELLULAR PHONE DANGER! US air defence systems around the world are useless since they operate on the same frequency as local telephones. "At least 89 telecommunications systems were deployed within the European, Pacific and south-west Asian theatres without the proper frequency certification and host-nation approval," according to Defence Week magazine. American radar in Bahrain has been rendered inoperable because it interferes with telecommunications equipment, while Patriot missiles have been grounded in Korea because their radio, radar and databank frequencies are the same as those of local mobile phones. Missiles in Germany could be fired accidentally because they operate on the same radio frequency as baby monitors.
