I expect that EU directives ensure that they're not particularly easy to light!

Well, EU directives, then. One should suffice.

Fridge - Carl Paul Gottfried von Linde
Rotary engine - Felix Wankel
Laser printer - Gary Starkweather
Bulletproof vest - Casimir Zeglen (male)
Wankel!
The fridge, engine and printer info came from 2 different sources, I will check them out further.
Leaving Tipex (giggles), windshield wipers (and the car they went on was nothing in comparison), bras (that's fair enough), circular saw (based on a previous design by a Frenchman).
It's not a competition my dear fellow, you do quite worryingly sound like you're trying to do women inventors down, by promoting the male ones.
Why you do this?
You make me sad. *cries*
Happy 800th!!!!!

If it's of any consolation, women are great!

Yeah I laughed at that, poor sod.

Why?
And you, dear, sound worringly like you're trying to put boys down by claiming girls are cleverer!! I'm just responding. To be honest I think any man can be as clever as any woman and vica versa, and I feel absolutely sure you do too.
So let's just laugh at Wankel instead!!!
Well, we were both joking.
Hold hands?
