Nobel Dynamite Prize of the Week

This week: James Wright, inventor of lackluster putty
Wright invented putty in 1943. Nearly 70 years later, it still can't hold my Big Lebowski poster to my wall. Mr. Wright, the human race enjoys defying gravity a little less because of you.

NOTE: Searching for a photo of the James Wright proved difficult. Here are a few of the images that come up when searching for a pouting image of the inventor. Any one of them could feasibly be him, especially the one that says "Edward Elms Kendall, Jr."




































Past winners:
Week 6: Mary Josephine Ray, old
Week 5: Gertrude Baines, older
Week 4: Jesus, destroyer of toast
Week 3: Frederick Banting, discoverer of insulin and its therapy
Week 2: Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the radio
Week 1: inventor of sporting goods store basketball rim cover
