Amazing Hungarians

I'm part Hungarian so I thought it fitting to produce a memoir of all the genius Hungarians of our time. They are really smart people - some guys underestimate Hungary...

Photobucket
Gabor Domokos - inventor of the Gomboc: The world's first man-made object with equilibrium properties that allows it to right itself no matter how it is stood up. See? A mono-monostatic object IS possible! It's like a turtle shell! :D

LASZLO JOZSEF BIRO Pictures, Images and Photos
Laszlo Biro - inventor of the first ballpoint pen in 1938... you guessed it: the Biro ;)

Photobucket
Ignac Semmelweis - discovered the puerperal fever pathogen (often called childbed fever and affected mostly mothers). He found a way to prevent the infection and almost totally stopped it.

Erno Rubik Pictures, Images and Photos
Erno Rubik - invented the Rubik's cube: apparently it highly increases logical abilities. I must try it sometime...
