The can opener was invented forty eight years after the invention and production of the can:

The Can Opener Wasn't Invented Until 48 Years After the Invention of the Can

The first such tool popped up in 1858, almost a half century after the can was invented, when Ezra Warner patented the first dedicated can opener. This design became known as a “bayonet and sickle” type can opener. It worked by puncturing the can with the bayonet portion, and then the sickle portion would remove the lid. The opener left extremely rough edges and so never really caught on, long-term.

With all the cold winter weather talk from Florida I thought I would pass on this safety tip - wear your socks on the outside of your shoes.

The 2010 Physics Ig Nobel: Physics of Preventing Winter Slips

"The study found that wearing socks significantly reduced the self-reported slipperiness of icy footpaths with a higher proportion of sock wearers displaying confidence as they descended the study slopes."
