Did you know you can buy stamps from the post office online? In fact, you can buy cool R. Buckminster Fuller stamps.I am somewhat familiar with one of R. Buckminster Fuller's more well-known inventions / discoveries, the bucky ball. Due to its apparent total lack of applicability, it tends to be the butt of engineering jokes (e.g. "nice invention geek-boy, looks about as useful as a bucky ball.").
Turns out he's a pretty idealistic guy with good intentions, he's just a bit nutty. To make my point, here's a R. Buckminster Fuller quote and an image of one of his wacky ideas.
"...make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."And what better way to do that than installation of a dome over New York...
