It was an engineer who invented the modern bikini. :cool:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_R%C3%A9ard

The bikini, which shocked when it appeared on French beaches in 1947, was a Greco-Roman invention.[1] The modern bikini was invented by French engineer Louis Réard in 1946. He named it after Bikini Atoll in the Pacific, the site of the Operation Crossroads nuclear weapon test on July 1, 1946. The reasoning was that the burst of excitement created by it would be like a nuclear device.

Louis Réard (1897 ? 1984) was a French automobile engineer who invented bikini in 1946.

Well they didn't have much in the way of computers in 1947. Same way we don't have the genetic engineering capabilities that we'll probably have in a few decades. He's the tech nerd of his day. :)

True, but this is more universal and hits on a lower level. :D

Plus when they see you still live with your mom I have a feeling they will bolt fast. ;)
