The Super Soaker. We all can remember racing to pump one up before our friends can get the chance to spray us with theirs. The man behind our childhood summer memories, Scientist and Engineer Dr. Lonnie Johnson, invented the Super Soaker by mistake. He was working on a refrigeration system that used water instead of Freon when one day he put together a few nozzles and shot a stream of water across the room. In that moment, he made the choice to put down the hard science stuff and work on something fun for a change. But the Super Soaker isn't Johnson's only claim to fame. He has worked on the US Military's Stealth Bomber project, NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter, and is also responsible for the invention of the Nerf gun. Yes, the Nerf gun too. We just might be able to credit him for some of our greatest childhood memories. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #SuperSoaker #Nerf #nasa Reposted from @cnet https://instagr.am/p/CZqBRbjvGw-/

Had a little midnight snack this night and stuffed myself pretty much before I go back to bed looking like a beached hog whale trying to digest in peace
