The Night Thread Salutes the Invention of “The Snapper”

Tonight we salute Larry, a seemingly hapless museum security guard who has proven to be quite resourceful, not just when it comes to dealing with living wax statues and dinosaur bones, but also in the field of inventing.

Yes, Larry is the inventor of “The Snapper,” which is often brushed aside as being just like “the clapper.” With a single snap of one’s fingers, you can turn something on or off. In Larry’s case, he ends up using it on his ever trusty flashlight.

Who would’ve known that a snap of the fingers could accomplish something with such an impact?


Have a snapping good night, Avocados!
