22. It's not "invented"? ...

Okay ... then post a link to where it came from!

If it didn't come from you, then it's not invented by you ... If you cannot post something indicating that it came from someplace other than you, then YOU invented it!

I hate to say this, but you have got some *serious* issues to work out.

I'll repeat ... you are completely unself-aware. But that said, I probably do have some issues to work out; but ignorance on this topic is not one of them.
