If it's manmade, invented. If it's natural, discovered. We discovered fire and electricity. We invented gas stoves and televisions.

> We invented gas stoves
I do not agree. We discovered Gas stoves at places like Volcano's - All we did was find a way to make that happen without having a Volcano in each of our backyards

Invent = make something new.
Discover = find something that was already there.

Bottom line is man at some early point noticed Nature made fires So man after tasting natural Bar-B-Q said to self Yummy crispy critters and soon figured out hot to rub sticks together. So they observed wot was natural and just made sorta copy of.
No question in some parts of planet as lava flowed n covered a critter some early man observed and figured out how to copy such cause waiting for the next flow might be eons
> ZIP ZILCH NADA to do with re: gas stoves
So you really think a stick on fire produces no gas?

He's pretty much anti-everything, which is particularly odd since he identifies as a liberal.

Yiff is part of a range of onomatopoeic words that form a pseudo-language used by the furry role-playing community: yiff, yip, yerf, yaff, yarf, growf, and growlf (in order from most positive connotations to most negative connotations). Yiff meant yes or an exuberant hello!.
