“But here’s the thing, flamingos can not only stand or submerge their head in near-boiling water and remain totally unharmed, but they can drink it too. This in of itself would be insane but flamingos can also up the ante by drinking boiling salt water.”
spider webs are made out of protein, they’re expensive to make so the spider eats them to reclaim as much protein as possible so it doesn’t have to invest the resources of several proper meals just to build a trap to catch its next few meals. Also it makes perfect sense that the inventor of the electric guitar couldn’t actually play it, after all rocket scientists and astronauts are 2 different professions with surprisingly little overlap, so is it REALLY so strange that an instrument maker isn’t a musician?

In Leo’s case, why invent something in which you’ve got no previous talent? (I wonder if Peter Parker eats his leftover web slingings.)

I imagine Mr. Fender strummed the guitar to test it even if he didn’t know how to “play” it.

At least he didn’t invent the electric kazoo.

I’m not sure that flamingo really needed those boots.

If Spiderman’s webs are so strong that criminals can’t break them, how to the police release them?

Leo Fender founded the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company. Google his story to fined out how he got involved with guitars.
