I'm pooped. And the origin of disposable nappies.

Yes, the pun was intended, and yes, I am exhausted.

Too tired to blog, perhaps. Well, almost.

In keeping with our series begun the other night on the cool invention of tears, tonight's installation features the incredible story of disposable nappies.

Marion Donovan, the woman who invented these, must be regarded as a hero all over the western world.

Marion has been gone for 10 years now, but barely an hour ago I carried four plastic bags full of her legacy out to the Otto bin.
