      Hello adrianfear. I don’t like this idea too much. I’d only want to ‘take credit’ for inventions of my own. If I could have invented anything I guess it would have to be antibiotics as we’ve discussed before on this site.

      I think you’re on shaky ground when you take credit for something that’s not your own and I’d like to think that the universe has a way of catching up with such people….

      Hi adrianfear,

      The only thing I’ve invented was an instrument for collecting very, very small particles out of the air – a thermophoretic precipitator!

      I’d never take credit for inventing something I hadn’t though.
