Actually, I believe it was an early resident of the British Island that
invented the wheel, Harrington C. Aveman, III. In approximately, 6,300
B.C., Harrington was tinkering around in his garden, trying to move
large boulders around to create an area for a shrubbery. He took some
smaller and stronger stones and started chipping away at the large
boulders until they were shaped just right to be moved ... he called it
"da wheeeeeeel". Then, he and three fellow cavemen grabbed each of the
four corners and hauled it away. Unfortunately, the original four-sided
version of the wheel was never popular on the European continent
(Harrington always said it was jealousy) and eventually the Greeks
re-invented it in the current form.
