A Hero’s a Hero

The first vending machine was invented by Hero of Alexandria around 215 BC. When a coin was dropped into a slot, its weight would pull a cork out of a spigot and the machine would dispense a trickle of water.

 

Let’s just hope that the one paying has a cup with him - or else, bye-bye money.:P Oh well, this guy’s a Hero of students and rushing people alike.:P

    Maybe his great-great-great grandson/nephew/cousin whatever was the one who created that.XD Or it could be related to Hiro Nakamura - after all, that dude can travel.

    Hehe! True, true..the buyer should have a cup with him. Maybe there’s a machine that sells cups beside it. XD
