        <![CDATA[ Hey, maybe we&#39;re looking in the wrong part of the world for the origins of the bamboo rod?  According to one 1884 author, it may very well have been
the Germans who invented the split bamboo rod. Probably not, but has
anyone ever seen a Thoma or Hildebrand ca. 1880s or earlier German cane rod???

			<description><![CDATA[ Which man, in which country, invented hot water ?
<br>
We all know the joke: &quot;He&#39;s a nice guy... but he sure didn&#39;t invent hot water...!&quot;
<br>
It would seem very logical to assume, as JeffK points out, that a good many technical innovations have multiple sources, in different time frames. And noticing
that cane is a great building material, easily split, and that the strips can then be reassembled to make a new, better tool... like a fishing rod -
couldn&#39;t that have... ]]></description>

Fishermans Bible Page #934 And I qoute Mr. McClane
<br>
<br>
&quot;The art was known in that country (China) nearly 3,000 years ago. In the book of Tchoung Tseu (950 B.C.) an explanation is given as to how to build split
cane &quot;rods&quot; glued and bound&quot;.

			<description><![CDATA[ Ah yes, a debate close to my heart. As one of my degrees is in the History of Science &amp; Technology, this is a bedrock argument upon which the whole field
is built. As one of my science &amp; tech professors once noted, &quot;innovation and invention are not the same thing.&quot; Even the most radical scientists
recognize they owe a debt to the past. After all, perhaps the most insular, least collegial and biggest loner of all titans in the field of science was Isaac
Newton, who... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ As an engineer and technical history buff &quot;invention&quot; is a tough word to get a hold of.  Humans the world over have plenty of creativity and many
things have been &quot;invented&quot; many times all over the world.  Invention can mean who did it for the first time, or who did the first one that made it
to common usage.  Using a steamboat for an example.  There are plenty of people who ran a steam powered boat a mile or two on some river, but Fulton&#39;s boat
is the one that started... ]]></description>

split-bamboo rod building in Germany, check out pages 92 and 93 in &quot;Split-Cane Rods -- Bamboo Treasures&quot; by Rolf Baginski.
