      OOh exciting!

      If you mean, that I made, I don’t really have any :'(
      I’m not an engineer, who tend to do all the inventing.

      But, I have discovered new genes that other people didn’t know existed, so that’s kind of like inventing, right??

      Ali-A my man!

      My favourite invention that I didn’t invent is the internet. What would I do in my free time if I didn’t have social media? How would I talk to family members? I’d have to speak to them face to face or something……. weird.

      In terms of what I’ve invented, some of my recipes have been pretty awesome. Some of them have also been pretty awful, so it’s a bit hit and miss. Probably best get someone else to test it and then tell you how they rank on a scale of food poisoning to mind-blowing. Maybe get Mark to test them since he knows a lot about salmonella.

      Hey Ali

      Are you asking me a trick question? 😛
      I think my favourite discovery is fire and my favourite invention is cooking.

      My personal best are a tweeting apple that you can tweet to and it replies, a talking plant that starts talking when you touch it, coffee cups connected through the internet that tells you when your friend is having coffee and an electricity meter that measures the electricity in a room through sand much like an hourglass.
      And I love the recipes that I’ve recently invented for vegan cookies and pancakes. I like experimenting while I cook so I do occasionally come up with new things similar to Ali.

      😀
