Nope.  That was an old Prussian general with stiff knees.

Al Gore invented the marching band.

Don't confuse it with band aid for the troops marching to victory.

Al Gore invented the victory sign (disguised as an overweight Englishman)

Oh dear, he did, didn't he?

Al Gore invented the term "PC"

No, that was IBM, in 1981 actually.  Personal Computer.  You remember IBM?  International Business Machines?  They USED to be big in computers ...

Al Gore INVENTED the personal computer, though.

Nah, he just helped pass the legislation that made the Internet a reality for everyone instead of a group of universities running a limited network that was closed to most people. Some guy at IBM invented the PC, but Ross Perot made a killing on it.

Al Gore invented Ross Perot.

Hmmm...I could have sworn that Ross Perot invented Ross Perot, a self-made man.

Al Gore invented self-sealing tires.

No, Self Sealing tires were invented by DuPont or 3M, I forget which, during WWII for fighter airplanes.  Or was that self-sealing gas tanks?  I often mix those two up ...

Al Gore, on the other hand, invented The Other Hand.

On the one hand, it would be really bad if you filled up your tires with gasoline and your gas tank with air.

On the other hand, the other hand was invented by the first man with two hands.

While on the third hand...

Al Gore invented things that go bump in the night.

... and your gas tank with air.

This happens automatically, when the gas is used up.  I suppose some folks' gas tank fills up with a vaccum instead ...

Al Gore DID invent things that go bump in the night.  He called'em republicans ...

Al Gore ALSO invented Things That Make You Feel Safe, like hiding under the covers.

That man is just determined to save the world...

Thusly, he also invented fully flavored and delecious diabetic friendly ice cream.

Yes, after his idea for instant beer failed because people preferred to drink beer with Bush instead.

Al Gore invented the femmefatalotron.

Naah.  I give ALL that credit to    MentalBlock996, our humble Administrator.

Al Gore invented Karma, however.
