- Odlid, on 10/10/2007, -7/+33Who the HELL let her out of the kitchen?
- webcure, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23She is my hero! A homemaker with a brilliant mind.
Did she build it too? Wow! - 89vision, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18She would probably spend all day on digg.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Was the lol in the title really necessary?
- michaelaranda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14To give it any chance of making the front page, yes. Yes, it was.
- norbiu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Fax machine?? CRT ?? That's not even 2007.
- has2k1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13That woman was 1337.
- 5xSTUN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Wait a second, people in the 30s did things besides rescue Biblical artifacts from the Nazis?
- hirro, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Three things at once? She's a witch... burn her....
She turned me into a newt - bdub92, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Thats my kinda woman!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"..I got better"
- felchdonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That is one hot chick. I wonder if she has any granddaughters (great-granddaughters?) that turned out as cool as her...
- sagosen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5More like Lazy Ass Nerd in 1997
- ani625, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That baby is a rocket scientist for sure!
- jonshipman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood.
And therefore?
A witch! - DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3She would most likely have had to work harder on the pedal to get all three working as more energy in equals less out....
- culbeda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Even I find it hard to believe that Diggers are really THAT retarded!
- mookiemookie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Have you *seen* some of the comments around here?
- jonshipman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Unless you like them in their 50s, I'd say definitely great-granddaughters (if that baby was born in 35, that'd make the baby 72 today).
- GeneralKickass, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wow. Hats off to the lady.
On a side note, why the hell do babies need to be rocked anyway? Does being in a perpetual state of seasickness calm them down somehow? - MrObjectional, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Bury me if you must, but I for one am saddened that this woman had a brilliant engineering mind and likely never had a chance to make more of it than what we see in that picture.
- MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I really don't think we know that for sure. Lots of women did lots of things that their husbands got credit for back then, and I think your comment proves that this strategy worked.
Do you really think that women didn't do any kind of building or inventing back then? Not to mention, this was an Oregonian frontier women, and probably a hell of a lot more capable with tools than you my friend. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No but the LOL in the description was!
- bbardlbradd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Boil'er mash'er stick her in a stew. boil'er mash'er stick her in a stew...
- missingnoh4x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, no, she was 1935.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Wonder if she also got herself off the way women used to do while pedalling their sewing machines. That would be the icing...
- bbardlbradd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Multitasking 1984! Ah, hah! http://notizen.typepad.com/aus_der_provinz/pix/jobs1984.jpg
- missingnoh4x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What else do we burn with witches?
More witches! - Bricks, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Too Soon?
- BearinG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Does that run on Windows?
- bbardlbradd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1 I do think it's funny that if she did create the machine, that she's only accomplishing things that only a woman would normally do in that time. Taking care of the baby, churning butter and sewing!? The only thing missing is an attachment to do the dishes. (I'm assuming you can replace the butter with laundry).
P.S. This isn't a sexist joke. - Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4Not to rain on anyone's parade, but a man designed that machine for her. I'm sure of it.
- bbardlbradd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1HA! HA! You're a ***** TARD! Linux is updated more often than OS X and Windows. Popularity and looks aren't everything and everyone knows, if you want an OS to show off you have to have Linux. Not even OS X can compare in flashiness. Wind0z PC's are just modular xbox's, and your obvious retardation has voided your right to even think about thinking the letters O, S, and X (or 10 [TEN]) sequentially in that order.
- Odlid, on 10/10/2007, -14/+14Who the HELL let her out of the kitchen?
- evillawngnome, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2People, please, lets remember that gender roles were a little more clearly defined in previous years. This contraption was almost DEFINITELY made by the husband. I'm not sure why we're digging down an obvious point. A woman constructing something from scratch with lumber would have been highly unlikely. He built it, she used it. Balance. Let's just give credit where credit is due.
- Bricks, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2With President Monotask in office no less. She was truly a multitask pioneer, and a futurist biped after my own heart
- bbardlbradd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This has nothing to do w/ TFA.
- bartpieters, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Not to spoil anything but in the mid 1800's an usual factory set up was to have one engine and having it operate 10, 20 machine by use of levies and pullies.
- trghpy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Huh, i'd think by 1935 there would be a telephone tied (literally) to her ear..
- bfaulk04, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1someone get this lady an iPhone... STAT
- synce, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I'm betting the man built it. My question is, why doesn't it allow her to make sandwiches at the same time?
- MrSunshine, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Multitasking in 1985:
http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/CDE/_AMIGA.GIF - evillawngnome, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Wife says, "I CAN'T DO THREE THINGS AT ONCE!" Husband says, "There, now you can."
- Odlid, on 10/10/2007, -6/+4damn it all to hell
- evillawngnome, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0LOL LINUX LOL ... Grow up.
- Sabretou, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1The woman used Linux.
- xquizit, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0that is sooooo yesterday
- wassim2k, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Fast forward to 2007. The sewing machine has been replaced by Abercrombie. The baby rocker by Baby Einstein. The butter churn by a dildo.
- peterjmag, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Absolutely nothing productive.
- Speedy7, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3Thats the first 'clever' American i've ever seen... the rest are dimwits
